Ovulation Pain treatment in Cuautitlan Izcalli

Ovulation-associated pain, also called mittelschmerz, is a discomfort in the lower abdomen that some women feel around the middle of the menstrual cycle, when the ovary releases an egg.

How it presents: it is usually a mild to moderate pain, on one side of the lower belly, that can last from minutes to a few hours and is sometimes accompanied by light bleeding.

When to see a doctor? An evaluation is worthwhile if the pain is very severe, is prolonged, changes from what is usual, or is accompanied by fever or other symptoms.

Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who evaluates this type of discomfort related to the cycle, while the general practitioner can provide guidance at a first consultation. If the pain raises concerns or affects your daily life, discussing it with a professional will give you greater peace of mind.
