Why do I have lower abdominal pain after sex?

In life, sometimes we feel unwell after having sex, especially some women may feel pain in the lower abdomen. Therefore, they cannot concentrate on their work the next day, which will have a great impact on women’s life and work. However, I am too embarrassed to ask my doctor or friends about the lower abdominal pain caused by sex. So many women feel confused. Now we will help you answer the question, why do you have lower abdominal pain after having sex?

1. It may be that the man used too much force or the position was improper. If the man is too rough during sexual intercourse, the woman's abdominal pressure will suddenly increase, the uterus, rectum and bladder will be squeezed by gravity, and the intestine will undergo reverse peristalsis, causing abdominal pain. If the woman is on top, the position of the uterus, appendages and other organs may easily change, and exert a pulling effect on the surrounding tissues, causing dull pain in the lower abdomen and waist. This pain usually subsides on its own when sexual intercourse ends.

2. Caused by the woman’s own physiological structure. The base of the female urethra and bladder is close to the vagina, and the uterus and its appendages are more closely related to the vagina, making them more susceptible to stimulation from external pressure and biological factors. When the sexual organs are congested, the pelvic tissues will have varying degrees of stress response, contraction or spasm, causing abdominal pain. This situation often occurs in people who are having sexual intercourse for the first time and can gradually alleviate later.

3. If sexual intercourse lasts too long, the persistent sexual impulse will cause prolonged pelvic congestion, and may also cause female pelvic congestion syndrome and abdominal pain. Changing body positions appropriately during sexual intercourse, such as lying on your side, can help the pelvic blood flow out and relieve symptoms.

4. Pelvic inflammation (such as vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.) can cause persistent pain in the lower abdomen of women, and the symptoms will be aggravated by local irritation and congestion caused by sexual intercourse. This pathological symptom is easily distinguished from the previous ones in that the pain persists for a long time and does not ease with the end of sexual intercourse. Women can also go to the hospital for a gynecological examination to identify the cause of the disease.

5. Pain during sexual intercourse in pregnant women is mostly caused by semen. Because the prostaglandins in semen can cause uterine contractions in women, especially those who are pregnant, this can not only cause abdominal pain, but may even lead to premature birth or miscarriage.

The above article introduces some possible causes of lower abdominal pain after sex. In addition to the man using too much force, many other reasons are pathological. So when we have this symptom, we should pay attention. It cannot be treated as a normal phenomenon. When having sex, you must pay attention to your personal hygiene and the hygiene of your sexual partner. To avoid bacterial and viral infection.
