Can you explain what mittelschmerz is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain from ovulation: "Mittelschmerz" is German and means "pain in the middle" (of the cycle) when ovulation ensues. During ovulation an egg literally breaks through the surface of the ovary, which in some women can cause pain that can last for hours to a day or two.
