4 Key Symptoms of Ovulation Bleeding: Analyzing Non-Menstrual Bleeding and Its Connection to Pregnancy
The four phases of a woman's menstrual cycle are the follicular phase, ovulation phase, luteal phase, and menstrual phase. The ovulation phase, or the time when the ovary releases an egg, is a critical point. If the egg is fertilized after ovulation, it moves to the uterus to implant and become an embryo. If the egg is not fertilized, the uterine lining will begin to shed, resulting in menstruation. During the ovulation phase, women may experience symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, ovulation pain, or breast tenderness. Ovulation bleeding may occur, characterized by a small amount of brown discharge or spotting, typically lasting only 2-3 days.
