SInce having kids, I've noticed when I ovulate each month, I get a pressure type discomfort in my lower abdomen. It lasts 2 days about. What is this?

Dr. Susan Arnoult, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine Answered Jun. 21, 2015

Mittelschmerz. Also known as ovulation pain. Some women get pelvic pain every time they ovulate. It usually lasts 1-2 days and is predictably around the time of ovulation every month. Ibuprofen or Naprosyn (naproxen) help.
