During ovulation, women may experience mild abdominal pain, headache, elevated body temperature, and increased vaginal discharge. Some women may also have symptoms such as loss of appetite, emotional tension, and runny nose. Can women ovulate during their menstrual period?
Usually, women do not ovulate during their menstrual period. Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon that usually clears within 3-7 days. The vast majority of women have a menstrual cycle of 28-30 days. The menstrual period is the stage when follicles are developing, and ovulation usually occurs 14 days before the next menstrual period, so ovulation does not occur during the menstrual period.
But there are also exceptions for some women. If a woman experiences menstrual abnormalities, it takes about 12 days for her period to clear, which may lead to ovulation during her menstrual period. In clinical practice, a comprehensive analysis should be conducted based on medical history, menstrual cycle, and duration to determine whether ovulation occurs during menstruation.
Women should avoid sexual intercourse during their menstrual period, pay attention to keeping warm, and consume warm and spicy foods. If women want to know if they have ovulated, they can use luteinizing hormone ovulation test strips, basal body temperature, and vaginal ultrasound to predict ovulation. Women can calculate their ovulation period and have sex during this time, which is beneficial for pregnancy.
