Why do I have lower abdominal pain after sex?

After sexual intercourse, pain occurs in the lower abdomen. This is a common problem encountered by women. The reason for this pain may be that the sexual intercourse is too intense. Some people have greater force during intercourse, which does cause pain in the lower abdomen. In addition, the occurrence of lower abdominal pain after sexual intercourse also requires consideration of some gynecological diseases.

Why do I have lower abdominal pain after 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 susceptible to stimulation by external stress and biological factors. During sexual intercourse, the male's penis twitches violently, causing strong stimulation to the female's vagina, abdominal cavity and pelvic organs, causing the female to breathe rapidly and the whole body to contract involuntarily. This phenomenon is especially obvious during orgasm. 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.

(3) Abdomen gets cold after sex: Some couples do not keep warm after sex. Because they often feel hot during sex, they like to use air conditioning or fans to cool down after sex. For women, getting cold in the lower abdomen can easily cause paroxysmal lower abdominal pain.

(4) Abdominal pain due to 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.

2. Pathological factors:

(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.
