Why do I have lower abdominal pain after having sex with my husband?

A harmonious sex life is good for the body. Under normal circumstances, women will not have any abnormal phenomena in their bodies after sex. Lower abdominal pain after sex is particularly common. There are many reasons for this phenomenon and it needs to be taken seriously. We must not be careless to avoid the disease becoming more and more serious and causing great impact on our health. It is best to check and treat it in time.

Why do I have lower abdominal pain after having sex with my husband?

1. Normal pain

During sexual intercourse, the twitching of the male penis can cause severe stimulation to the female vagina, abdominal cavity and pelvic organs. The female may experience shortness of breath and involuntary contractions of the whole body, which can cause pain. However, because sexual excitement masks pain, pain often only manifests itself after sexual intercourse. This is the most common situation. This post-sex abdominal pain is tolerable and will go away on its own.

2. Female 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 when people have sexual intercourse for the first time and the symptoms will gradually improve.

3. Cystitis

The bottom of the female urethra and bladder are close to the vagina, and the uterus and its appendages are even closer to the vagina, making them easily stimulated by external pressure and biological factors. In this case, changing the sexual position, reducing pressure on the anterior wall of the vagina, and emptying the bladder immediately after sexual intercourse can all help alleviate symptoms.

4. Female pelvic inflammation

If the woman has lesions in her abdominal or pelvic cavity, the penis will hit the diseased area, causing 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 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. Duration is too long

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.
