Why do I feel bloated and painful in my lower abdomen after sex?

The causes of lower abdominal distension and pain after sexual intercourse can be divided into physiological and pathological reasons. The physiological cause is due to excessive squeezing during sexual intercourse. Don't worry, it will get better after a while. The pathological cause is due to some gynecological inflammation or cervicitis, cervical erosion and other diseases. If it is pathological, it must be treated in time, otherwise it will affect the health of the body.

1. When women suffer from vulvitis or vaginitis, they often experience pain during sexual intercourse, which is more obvious after the end. There is inflammation in these areas, and there is usually local congestion and swelling. During sexual intercourse, the local congestion becomes more severe. The mechanical stimulation during sexual intercourse and the strong contraction of the vaginal muscles during orgasm can aggravate the pain and discomfort in the genitals.

2. When women suffer from urethritis or inflammation of the urethral opening, sexual intercourse causes local irritation. As the perineal muscles contract, the muscles around the urethra and perineum also contract synergistically, and spasmodic dull pain and discomfort will reappear for a period of time after intercourse.

3. Cervicitis or cervical erosion. Under the direct stimulation of sexual intercourse, especially the contraction of the uterine cervix during orgasm, can lead to persistent discomfort in the genitals afterwards, and sometimes there will be symptoms such as a small amount of vaginal bleeding.

Abdominal pain is first of all related to gastrointestinal diseases. Clinically, most gastrointestinal diseases will have symptoms of abdominal pain, such as peptic ulcers, gastritis, and colitis, and the precursor to their occurrence is abdominal pain. Secondly, it is also related to eating habits. For example, overeating in daily life and liking spicy and cold food can irritate the gastrointestinal tract and cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. In addition, when the body's resistance is reduced and bacteria infect the intestines, abdominal pain can also be induced.
