Body changes and precautions before and after ovulation
The ovulation period is an important stage in the female reproductive cycle and is also an indispensable part of assisted reproductive technologies such as B-ultrasound examination, artificial insemination, and in vitro fertilization. Before and after ovulation, a series of changes will occur in a woman\’s body, which requires special attention. The following will be elaborated on from several aspects.
Physiological changes
Ovulation is when a woman’s egg is released from the ovary and enters the fallopian tube. During this process, the female body will undergo many physiological changes, as follows:
The first is an increase in basal body temperature. Follicles secrete a large amount of estrogen during the pre-ovulatory period, causing a slight increase in a woman\’s body temperature, about 0.3 to 0.5°C.
Followed by changes in cervical secretions. Cervical discharge becomes more abundant and drier during ovulation, taking on a texture similar to egg whites.
Finally, there is sensory pain in the abdominal muscles. As the ovaries stretch during ovulation, women will experience abdominal pulling and pain, and some may also experience back pain.
Psychological changes
The ovulation period also has a great impact on women’s psychological state, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
One is increased sexual desire. Scientific research shows that the secretion of estrogen in a woman\’s body increases during ovulation, thereby stimulating sexual desire.
The second is mood swings. Fluctuating estrogen levels can also have an impact on a woman\’s mood, with some women becoming sensitive, irritable or depressed during ovulation.
The third is to strengthen the awareness of self-protection. When women may be pregnant, they will pay more attention to self-protection, such as paying attention to diet and avoiding excessive exercise.
Notes
Ovulation is the time when pregnancy is most likely to occur, so women need to pay special attention to the following during this period:
The first is to conduct periodic monitoring. Women can learn about their menstrual cycle changes by measuring basal body temperature, cervical secretions, etc., which is helpful for judging and predicting the time of ovulation.
The second is to pay attention to contraception. If you don\’t want to get pregnant, it is recommended to use contraceptive measures during ovulation, such as condoms, birth control pills, etc.
The third is to maintain good living habits. Women should avoid overexertion, maintain good eating habits, and enhance body immunity during this period.
Summary
The ovulation period will have a certain impact on women\’s physical and mental states, so women need to pay special attention during this period, monitor their cycles, pay attention to contraception, and maintain good living habits. Only in this way can you better protect your health and avoid unnecessary worries and risks.
