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.
In women with endometriosis, ovulation pain can be rather acute. It usually begins 12-24 hours before ovulation and may last for a few days. This results from the normal enlargement of the ovary during ovulation which causes stretching of endometrial implants and adhesions lying on the surface of the ovary.
