I have stomachache after having sex with my husband

Having sex with your husband is a normal physiological phenomenon. Some people will experience stomach pain after having sex. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. It may be caused by intense exercise. Since this activity also requires physical strength, it is best not to have sex immediately after a meal. When a woman suffers from gynecological diseases, she may also experience abdominal pain after sex.

Why do women have abdominal pain during sexual intercourse? Women experience abdominal pain during sexual intercourse, which is caused by both physiological and pathological conditions. In general, there are 6 major reasons:

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 are 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. Therefore, sexual intercourse should be moderate during pregnancy. Some women are allergic to men's semen or condoms, which causes systemic allergies and allergic abdominal pain. Changing your birth control method may stop the pain.

6. If severe abdominal pain occurs suddenly, it may be caused by corpus luteum rupture. Mature follicles and corpus luteum may suddenly rupture after being squeezed or vibrated, causing severe abdominal pain or abdominal bleeding. In this case, seek medical attention immediately.
