German for &#8220;middle pain,&#8221; mittelschmerz occurs midway through a menstrual cycle &mdash; about 14 days before your next menstrual period. <\/p>\n<p>In most cases, mittelschmerz doesn&#8217;t require medical attention. For minor mittelschmerz discomfort, over-the-counter pain relievers and home remedies are often effective. If your mittelschmerz pain is troublesome, your doctor may prescribe an oral contraceptive to stop ovulation and prevent midcycle pain.<\/p>\n<h2>CAUSES<\/h2>\n<p>Mittelschmerz occurs during ovulation, when the follicle ruptures and releases its egg. Some woman have mittelschmerz every month; others have it only occasionally. <\/p>\n<p>The exact cause of mittelschmerz is unknown, but possible reasons for the pain include these: <br \/>&#13;<\/p>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Just before an egg is released with ovulation, follicle growth stretches the surface of your ovary, causing pain.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Blood or fluid released from the ruptured follicle irritates the lining of your abdomen (peritoneum), leading to pain.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Pain at any other point in your menstrual cycle isn&#8217;t mittelschmerz. It may be normal menstrual cramping (dysmenorrhea) if it occurs during your period, or it may be from other abdominal or pelvic problems. If you have severe pain, see your doctor.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<h2>SYMPTOMS<\/h2>\n<p>Mittelschmerz pain usually lasts a few minutes to a few hours, but it may continue for as long as a day or two. Pain from mittelschmerz may be: <br \/>&#13;<\/p>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>On one side of your lower abdomen<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Dull and cramp-like<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Sharp and sudden<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Accompanied by mild vaginal bleeding or discharge<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Rarely, severe<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nMittelschmerz pain occurs on the side of the ovary that&#8217;s releasing an egg (ovulating). The pain may switch sides every other month, or you may feel pain on the same side for several months. <\/p>\n<p>Keep track of your menstrual cycle for several months and note when you feel lower abdominal pain. If it occurs midcycle and goes away without treatment, it&#8217;s most likely mittelschmerz. <\/p>\n<p><strong>When to see a doctor<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Mittelschmerz rarely requires medical intervention. However, contact your doctor if a new pelvic pain becomes severe, if it&#8217;s accompanied by nausea or fever, or if it persists &mdash; any of which could indicate you have a condition more serious than mittelschmerz, such as appendicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease or even an ectopic pregnancy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEFINITION Mittelschmerz is one-sided, lower abdominal pain associated with ovulation.
