What might post-ovulation spotting indicate? Is this a cause for concern? Should post ovulation spotting be consulted with my gynecologist? What could be the cause of the appearance of spotting? Is this something normal? The question is answered by the drug. Anna Mitschke.
What does post-ovulation spotting show?
Good day. I would like to ask what it shows spotting after ovulation? I started having this problem a few months ago. I’m 33 years old, but I’ve never experienced ovulation spotting before, and I don’t know if it’s really dangerous or is it a cause for concern? I still have fairly regular periods, I don’t use hormonal contraception, and I have never had problems with my period. As I mentioned – a few months ago I developed spotting after ovulation.
They are not strong, rather the very fine spots that appear after ovulation and usually last two or three days. Sometimes post-ovulation spotting is like intermittent – for example, spotting appears in the morning, then I feel calm and returns after a few or several minutes. Apart from spotting after ovulation, I did not notice any other problems or disturbing symptoms. I admit that we have been trying to have a baby with our partner, but only for a few months. Hence, I know perfectly well that spotting occurs after ovulation, because I watch it very closely. What can be the cause of post-ovulation spotting? Should I see a doctor right away, is this a normal symptom?
The doctor explains where the spotting after ovulation comes from
Ovulation, or ovulation, is a complex process that occurs in the menstrual cycle in women. This is the stage where the ovary releases an egg. It usually occurs in the middle of the monthly cycle, i.e. around the 14th day. Sometimes women have irregular monthly cycles. Then ovulation may occur at a different time. The length of the menstrual cycle is counted from the first day of menstruation until the next bleeding occurs. It normally takes about 28 days.
A few days’ deviations are within the normal range. The ovulation process may be accompanied by a number of symptoms. During this time, you may experience slight, scanty bleeding. It usually takes 1-2 days. It does not occur regularly and not every woman will observe it. Bleeding can be related to the hormonal changes that occur in the menstrual cycle. This can cause the mucosa to peel and cause spotting. As a result of an ovarian follicle rupture, a small amount of blood may enter the fallopian tube along with the egg.
Additionally, during ovulation, a woman may observe pain in the lower abdomen. This pain may result from the entry of blood into the peritoneal cavity, which irritates and causes discomfort. The source of pain may be contractions of the fallopian tube, which ensure that the egg is displaced. Pain may accompany the follicle rupture. The symptoms listed above may not necessarily be present in every menstrual cycle. Additionally, a slight increase in body temperature associated with hormonal changes can be observed during ovulation.
The temperature usually rises by 0,2-0,4 ° C. Small spotting during ovulation may occur naturally and does not indicate the presence of pathology. Nevertheless, in the event of repeated bleeding, it is worth visiting a gynecologist and obstetrician who will verify the patient’s health and rule out possible abnormalities. Before a planned pregnancy, it is also worth going to a doctor’s appointment.
