Why does it hurt after sex?

Having sex is a very normal thing for people, but if you experience pain during intercourse, you must pay attention to it, as it may be caused by personal health problems. Many reasons may cause people to experience pain in their private parts after having sex, so the cause should be treated. So why does it hurt after having sex?

1. Suffering from vulvitis or vaginitis

When there is inflammation in these parts of women, there will be local congestion and swelling at ordinary times. The local congestion will become more serious during sexual intercourse. Mechanical stimulation during sexual intercourse and strong contraction of vaginal muscles during orgasm can aggravate the pain and discomfort in the genitals.

2. Cervicitis or cervical erosion

Women suffering from cervicitis or cervical erosion may experience persistent discomfort in the genitals after sexual intercourse, and sometimes a small amount of vaginal bleeding, due to direct stimulation from sexual intercourse, especially the contraction of the cervix during orgasm. For some women with mild cervicitis or cervical erosion, sexual intercourse can be reduced to once a week or once every 10 days, and these women can recover without treatment. Of course, for some women with gynecological diseases, it is better to go to the hospital for treatment.

3. Urethritis or inflammation of the urethra

Sexual intercourse causes local stimulation. As the perineal muscles contract, the muscles around the urethra and perineum also contract coordinately, and there will be a period of spasmodic dull pain and discomfort after sexual intercourse. Some women who suffer from urinary tract infection or urethral irritation may also experience dull pain in the vagina, or even weakness in the waist and knees. Therefore, once a woman suffers from urinary tract disease, it is best not to have sex.

4. Sexual intercourse lasts too long or is too intense

Some women occasionally experience dull pain and discomfort in the vagina after sex, which may be caused by sexual intercourse lasting too long or being too intense. But there is no need to panic. Reduce the frequency of sexual intercourse, keep the duration of sexual intercourse to 5-7 minutes, reduce vaginal congestion, and the symptoms will relieve on their own.
