Why does my lower abdomen hurt during sex?

Some women will find abnormal pain in the lower abdomen after having sex, especially some young women and middle-aged women. This pain forced them to hold their abdomen for relief. For this situation, we need to consider what causes it, so what is the reason for the lower abdomen pain during sex?

1. Normal sexual intercourse pain

During sexual intercourse, the twitching of the male penis can cause strong irritation to the female vagina, abdomen and pelvic organs. Women may experience difficulty breathing and difficulty contracting the entire body, which can cause pain. But because the excitement masks the pain, the pain often only manifests itself after it is over. It is the most common condition. This type of abdominal pain is tolerable and will clear up on its own.

2. Female body structure

The female urethra and the bottom of the bladder are close to the vagina, and the uterus and appendages are more closely related to the vagina, making them more susceptible to external pressure and biological stimulation. When sexual intercourse occurs, the pelvic tissue will produce different degrees of phenomena, such as contraction or muscle spasm, causing abdominal pain. This kind of situation often occurs in people who have sexual intercourse for the first time and can be gradually alleviated afterwards.

3. Pelvic inflammatory disease in women

If a woman has a disease in her abdomen or pelvis, the impact of the penis on the diseased area will cause lower abdominal pain.

Pelvic inflammation such as vaginitis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease can cause persistent pain in women's lower abdomen, and the symptoms are aggravated by local irritation hematoma caused by sexual intercourse. This type of physiological symptom is very different from the previous types, that is, the pain will last for a long time and will not be relieved with the end of sexual intercourse. Women can also determine the cause of the disease by going to the hospital for a gynecological examination.

4. Duration is too long

If the sexual life of a couple lasts too long, the prolonged desire will cause long-term pelvic hematoma, and may also cause pelvic congestion syndrome in women and abdominal pain. During sex and daily life, changing posture appropriately, such as lying on your side, is beneficial to the discharge of pelvic congestion, thereby alleviating symptoms.

5. The corpus luteum suddenly splits

If severe abdominal pain occurs suddenly, it may be caused by a rupture of the corpus luteum. The perfect egg and corpus luteum may suddenly rupture after being squeezed and vibrated, causing severe abdominal pain or abdominal bleeding. In this case, seek medical attention immediately.

6. Prostacyclin irritation

Sexual intercourse pain in pregnant women is mostly caused by ejaculation. Because the prostacyclin in semen can cause uterine contractions in women, especially those during pregnancy, which can not only cause abdominal pain, but may even lead to premature birth and miscarriage. Therefore, the sexual life of couples should be controlled during pregnancy.

7. Systemic allergic abdominal pain

Some women are allergic to men's semen or condoms, which leads to skin allergies all over the body and allergic abdominal pain. Changing the contraceptive method will eliminate the abdominal pain.

8. The abdomen gets cold afterwards

Some people may experience paroxysmal lower abdominal pain after sexual intercourse if they eat hot or cold food or blow a fan too hard.

9. Poor posture

If a man is too rough during sexual intercourse, the woman's abdominal pressure will increase sharply, the uterus, duodenum, and bladder will be squeezed by the force, and the intestines will produce reverse peristalsis and cause abdominal pain. If the woman is on top and the man is on the bottom, the uterus, appendages and other organs are prone to change position, and have a stretching effect on the surrounding tissues, causing dull pain in the lower abdomen and waist. This type of pain usually subsides on its own when the couple's sexual intercourse ends.
