Pulls the lower abdomen after ovulation

That part of the menstrual cycle, when the egg is preparing to leave the ovary, is called ovulation.

Symptoms of ovulation

Women who plan pregnancy, usually know how to determine this period, because they have sufficiently studied their body. A ripe egg leaves the follicle, which leads to its inevitable rupture, and this is the reason for special sensations. In addition, it is possible to note such signs:

Why does the stomach pull after ovulation?

But sometimes unpleasant feelings can persist for some time, until the next monthly. There may be several reasons for this.

Approximately 20% of women have a postovulatory syndrome. They have pain and discomfort accompanied by the entire phase of the yellow body. This is a fairly rare phenomenon. Therefore, if after an ovulation the stomach constantly pulls, it is necessary to descend or go in an out-patient department. There are diseases that cause such feelings and require urgent medical intervention. Such pathological conditions include:

• inflammatory processes are also accompanied by temperature, malaise;
• Hemorrhage in the ovaries can signal itself with just such pains;
• The ovarian cyst does not always make itself felt at all, and sometimes because of it the stomach is pulled or other unpleasant sensations arise.

Sometimes pulls the abdomen after ovulation with the onset of pregnancy. When a fetal egg is attached to the uterus (implanted), there may be slight discomfort, and even spotting. But the pain at this time is not acute, they must be insignificant.

If after an ovulation the stomach is pulled for a long time, besides the pain intensifies and other dangerous symptoms appear, for example, dizziness, fainting, these are possible signs of an ectopic pregnancy. This condition requires urgent hospitalization and surgical intervention. If at the time of not contacting specialists, pathology can provoke serious complications. Even death is possible. To prevent this, you need to call an ambulance.

Also it is necessary to remember that it pulls the lower abdomen after ovulation not only with gynecological pathologies or pregnancy, but also with diseases of other organs. For example, it can be cystitis, appendicitis, bowel pathology, hernia, kidney disease. Therefore, it is better to contact a gynecologist for an initial consultation, and he will already send the patient to another specialist who will take care of the treatment.

If the doctor does not reveal pathologies, but the woman still pulls the lower abdomen after ovulation, then, in fact, it is a question of postovulyatornom syndrome. Its manifestations do not harm the body, they only cause some inconvenience. The doctor can prescribe medications that will help to cope with these sensations. The soothing bath also acts soothingly. Another woman will help to maintain a diary in which she will make notes and observations of her body throughout the menstrual cycle. After a few months, you should show the doctor. Such information will give the doctor an opportunity to try to identify any patterns and determine the cause of such a condition.
