A ruptured ovarian follicle refers to the release or bursting of a mature egg from the follicle in the ovary. This process is a normal part of the menstrual cycle and typically occurs during ovulation. The ovarian follicle is a fluid-filled sac in the ovary that houses the developing egg. As the follicle matures, it reaches a point where it ruptures, allowing the egg to be released. The rupture of an ovarian follicle can sometimes cause discomfort or pain. This pain is usually brief and localized to one side of the lower abdomen, corresponding to the ovary that released the egg.
