Ovulation pains (Mittelschmerz) normally doesn’t require any serious treatment apart from the usual painkillers. However, some serious medical conditions such as appendicitis and ectopic pregnancy can mimic the pain of ovulation. For this reason, any prolonged abdominal pain should be thoroughly investigated in order to rule out any of these possibilities. Once it is confirmed that what you actually have is Ovulation pains, over-the-counter pain relievers especially anti-inflammatory drugs should be used.  However, if the Ovulation pain is severe and occurs every month, some forms of birth control may help. Birth control such as oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) that prevent ovulation from taking place can stop the pain from occurring. These are prescription medications and are prescribed by a doctor.
