虽然，作为一个跑步者，你可能会感到腿部或腹部肌肉的疼痛，但跑步后卵巢疼痛会让你感到担忧。卵巢疼痛可能表明卵巢或其他妇科疾病，与卵巢无关的医学问题或饮食问题。如果卵巢疼痛持续、自我护理后加重或伴有其他症状，则需立即进行医学评估。
特性
除了卵巢所在的骨盆右下和左下区域疼痛外，女性还可能会出现如腹部心悸压痛、腹胀、胀气或腹部绞痛等症状。疼痛可能会扩散到骨盆下部，并辐射到大腿或臀部和背部。一些女性可能会在每次跑步后都感到疼痛，而另一些女性可能只会在每月一次或两次跑步后感到卵巢疼痛。
原因
卵巢区域的疼痛可能是由卵巢本身或附近的器官、肌肉或韧带的问题引起的，医生称其为“指涉性疼痛”。In some women, running can decrease blood flow to the intestines, described by the Running Times Magazine website as "angina of the abdomen." Runners who consume a diet rich in fiber might experience gas pain that mimics ovarian pain, and those who consume caffeine or become dehydrated during a run might develop abdominal cramping near the ovaries. Inflammation or arthritis of the pelvic bones can cause pain near the ovaries, which is aggravated by running, explains the website. Uterine disorders including fibroids and endometriosis can also cause lower pelvic pain after strenuous exercise. If the pain occurs about two weeks before the woman's period is due, the pain might result from ovulation. Women with ovarian cysts might also experience pain in the pelvis after strenuous exercise such as running. Rarely, ovarian pain experienced after running could result from ovarian cancer.
治疗
由脱水引起的卵巢疼痛可以在家里通过摄入电解质增强或运动饮料来治疗。医生可能会推荐非处方止痛药来缓解关节炎、排卵疼痛或子宫紊乱引起的疼痛;在跑步前服用这种药可能有助于减轻跑步时的疼痛。医生通常通过手术治疗子宫肌瘤、囊肿或子宫内膜异位症，而卵巢癌引起的卵巢疼痛可能需要手术、化疗和放疗。
预防
在跑步前和跑步中保持充足的水分，避免摄入过多的咖啡因或膳食纤维，可能有助于防止由于消化问题引起的卵巢疼痛。保持健康的体重和均衡的饮食可能有助于预防导致卵巢疼痛的妇科疾病。跑步前后做伸展运动，跑步和步行的交替时间也可以帮助那些患有炎症或骨盆关节炎的跑步者预防卵巢疼痛。
