Is lower back pain before or after ovulation?

Lower back soreness may occur either before or after ovulation. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Before ovulation

Prior to ovulation, progesterone levels in the body are relatively high, which can stimulate the endometrium. If the endometrial lining is thick or if an individual cannot tolerate high progesterone levels, minor endometrial shedding may occur, causing abdominal pain that may radiate to the lower back, resulting in backache.

2. After ovulation

Lower back soreness may also occur after ovulation. Before the egg is released, the follicle ruptures and releases follicular fluid. If this fluid is not properly absorbed by the body, it may accumulate as pelvic fluid, irritating the peritoneal tissue and leading to pain or aching discomfort in the lower back and sacral area.

If the discomfort is severe, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation, relevant examinations, and appropriate treatment.
