The correct medical term for the release of an ovum (egg) from the ovary is "ovulation." This is a crucial process in the female reproductive cycle that typically occurs once a month. During ovulation, a mature follicle in one of the ovaries ruptures and releases an egg into the fallopian tube, where it may potentially be fertilized if sperm are present.

Ovulation usually happens around the middle of the menstrual cycle, approximately 14 days before the next period begins, although this timing can vary significantly among women. The released egg remains viable for about 24 hours, creating the fertile window when pregnancy can occur.

Some women experience mild symptoms during ovulation, such as a slight pain or discomfort on one side of the lower abdomen (sometimes called "mittelschmerz"), light spotting, or changes in cervical mucus. These signs can be useful for those tracking their fertility.
