"Mittelschmerz (pronounced MITT-ul-schmurz) is a
German word that means middle pain. The pain occurs
during ovulation. Pain appears on one side of the
lower abdomen midway between menstrual periods. The
location is determined by which ovary has produced the
ovum that month. It can show up on one side of the
abdomen one month and switch to the opposite side
during the following cycle.
"Among women, 20% experience mittelschmerz. Most of
the time it is a mild annoyance. In rare instances, it
can be debilitating...."
