Is it normal to experience pain during ovulation and why does it happen?

From the day we have our first period until the time we wave goodbye to our menstrual cycle, women get used to the monthly cramps and aches that inevitably herald the start of a bleed.andOvulation pain is known as Mittelschmertz which is a German word meaning “Middle Pain”. Dig down deep into your memory from school biology lessons and you will remember that we release an egg about once every month from our ovaries.

The side we feel the pain corresponds to the side where the ovulating ovary is and so, as women get used to noting their ovulation pain they can say, with some confidence, whether they have released an egg from their left ovary or their right! How amazing to be that tuned in to our bodies! It is not really known exactly what causes the pain but it might be that, as the ovary wall breaks to let the egg out, a little fluid is released and this might irritate the nearby nerves and create enough inflammation and irritation to cause discomfort.Managing the pain is much the same as managing the pain of a period - simple pain-relieving medication such as paracetamol, a hot water bottle, a soak in the bath and keeping busy.
