What is ovulation?
Ovulation refers to the period of time in a woman\’s menstrual cycle when ovulation begins. For women with a normal cycle of 28 days, ovulation occurs around day 14. During the ovulation period, the female body will experience some symptoms. This article will introduce these symptoms in detail.
Symptom 1: Increased body temperature
During the ovulation period, the concentration of luteinizing hormone in a woman\’s body will gradually increase, causing the body temperature to rise. Therefore, you can determine whether you are ovulating by measuring your body temperature every day. The body temperature is the highest from the day before ovulation to the day of ovulation, usually around 37 degrees Celsius.
When you are unsure of the date of ovulation, you can determine it by measuring your body temperature. If your body temperature is higher than the previous day for three consecutive days, you are probably ovulating.
Symptom 2: Changes in vaginal secretions
During the ovulation period, estrogen levels in a woman\’s body gradually increase, and vaginal secretions become clearer and seem to reduce their consistency. This is because the action of estrogen opens the cervical passages, increasing the ability of sperm to pass through.
You can tell whether you are ovulating by observing the color and viscosity of vaginal secretions. If the color is lighter and very smooth, it means that you are in the ovulation period that day.
Symptom 3: Abdominal pain
During the ovulation period, the ovaries will release eggs. This process will cause certain stimulation to the female body and cause abdominal pain. Some people experience severe abdominal pain, while others experience only mild discomfort. Usually this abdominal pain will lessen or go away a few hours after ovulation.
If abdominal pain lasts longer, it may be caused by a ruptured ovarian cyst and requires prompt medical treatment.
Symptom 4: Increased sexual desire
During the ovulation period, the levels of estrogen and luteinizing hormone in a woman\’s body increase, which makes women more psychologically and physically desire sex. It’s also the body’s way of signaling to women that it’s time for intercourse.
Therefore, during the ovulation period, a woman’s sexual desire will increase and her body will be more likely to reach orgasm.
Summary
The ovulation period is a very important part of a woman\’s menstrual cycle. The body goes through a variety of changes, and these changes can also reflect various aspects of a woman\’s physical condition. For women, understanding the symptoms of ovulation not only helps to understand their physical condition, but also helps to plan and arrange their fertility plans. Therefore, women should consciously pay attention to caring for their bodies and maintain health and beauty.
