Causes of Mittelschmerz or Ovulation Pain or Midcycle Pain. Before the release of the egg with ovulation, the growth of the follicle causes the surface of the ovary to stretch resulting in pain. The ruptured follicle may cause release of blood or fluid leading to irritation of the abdominal lining (peritoneum) and causing pain.
Much of the time, pelvic pain, spotting, itching, and other symptoms donât turn out to be serious, according to Holly Puritz, MD, FACOG, an obstetrician and gynecologist at The Group for Women in Norfolk, Va. Even a normal process, such as ovulation, can cause pain. âThereâs something you can have mid-cycle, which is called âmittelschmerz.â Itâs German for âmid-cycle pain,â â Puritz says. When ovulation occurs, some women feel a sharp or cramping pain on one side of the lower abdomen.
