Why does it hurt when women have sex?

Sexual life is a very normal behavior for adults. It can enhance the relationship between two people, and sexual life is also necessary to have children. Under normal circumstances, sex is a very comfortable and wonderful experience for the participants. However, some women experience pain during sex, which is very troubling. So why do women experience pain during sex?

1. Physiological factors:

(1) Female physiological structure: The base of the female urethra and bladder is very close to the vagina, and the pelvic organs such as the uterus and its appendages are even closer to the vagina. These female organs are easily stimulated by external pressure and biological factors. During sexual intercourse, the male's penis twitches violently, which can cause strong stimulation to the female's vagina, abdominal cavity, and pelvic organs, causing the female to breathe rapidly and her entire body to contract involuntarily, especially during orgasm. This phenomenon is more obvious. In fact, this process will also cause pain, but because the attention is not on the pain, the pain is not felt obviously, and the lower abdominal pain is felt after intercourse. However, for most women, the pain will be relieved on its own shortly after the end of sexual intercourse.

(2) Excessive force and squeezing by the man during sexual intercourse: During sexual intercourse, if the man uses excessive force or the squeezing is too strong, or the body position is incorrect, it is easy to increase the abdominal pressure of the woman, affect the movement of the intestine, squeeze the uterus, rectum, and bladder by gravity, and sometimes reverse peristalsis may occur, which manifests as paroxysmal abdominal pain.

(4) Abdominal pain caused by semen allergy: Some women are allergic to semen. If they do not take proper contraceptive measures during intercourse, semen will enter the female body and may induce lower abdominal pain during intercourse, or other allergic symptoms such as vomiting and migratory joint pain.

(1) Gynecological inflammation: Lower abdominal pain after sexual intercourse may be caused by gynecological inflammation, such as cervicitis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Under the stimulation of sexual intercourse, it is easy to cause the female's uterine cervix to contract during orgasm. Sometimes because the man's movements are too violent, the penis is pumping too fast and with too much amplitude, or because the penis is inserted too deeply, the penis hits the diseased area and causes lower abdominal pain, and sometimes a small amount of vaginal bleeding. This type of lower abdominal pain lasts for a long time and does not disappear when sexual intercourse ends.

(2) Corpus luteum rupture: If lower abdominal pain occurs suddenly and is severe during sexual intercourse, it may be caused by a rupture of the corpus luteum. During sexual intercourse, if the mature follicles and corpus luteum are squeezed and vibrated, sudden severe pain and abdominal bleeding may occur. If this happens, you should seek medical attention immediately.
