Intermenstrual pain (Mittelschmen)

Intermenstrual pain is pain in the lower abdomen that occurs around the middle of the menstrual cycle, when a mature egg is released from the ovary.

The menstrual cycle lasts on average 28 days (although it can vary from 21 to 35 days) and consists of the follicular phase, ovulation and luteal phase. Ovulation occurs around day 14 of the cycle, when the ovary releases an egg.

During ovulation, cramping pain may occur in the lower abdomen. This occurs due to the rupture of the ovarian follicle and the release of the egg. The pain usually lasts from a few minutes to 1-2 days. It can radiate to the groin area or lower back. The intensity of pain varies from mild to moderate.

The causes of intermenstrual pain can be hormonal changes, inflammatory processes in the pelvis, endometriosis, and ovarian tumors. If the pain is very severe and does not go away within several days, it is recommended to consult a gynecologist.

Treatment includes pain medications, hormonal therapy, and physical therapy. It is important to distinguish intermenstrual pain from other causes of abdominal pain in order to make a correct diagnosis in a timely manner and prescribe adequate treatment.
