Lower abdominal pain after sex

19. Young people today are not as reserved about sex as they used to be. Many of them have their first taste of the forbidden fruit at a young age. After getting married, people have certain needs for sex life. Some women report that they experience lower abdominal distension and pain after having sex, but they don’t know what causes it. They can go to the hospital for some examinations to determine the cause. So, what causes lower abdominal distension and pain after sex?

1. Causes of abdominal pain after sex

1. Endometriosis

Endometriosis causes abdominal pain because the endometrium originally in the uterine cavity moves into the pelvic cavity. During menstruation, the pelvic cavity also has menstruation, and menstrual blood accumulates to form chocolate cysts.

2. Violent sex

Generally speaking, patients experience abdominal pain during their menstrual period. However, if a man's penis is too long or if he moves too violently during intercourse, it may hit the lesions of pelvic congestion.

3. Vaginal and uterine contractions

During sex, the vagina and uterus contract, which can also affect the lesions. Therefore, when the affected area is irritated, abdominal pain will often occur for most of the day, and severe cases may take two or three days to relieve; the degree of pain is often severe, like an electric shock.

4. Uterine or ovarian tumors

Normally, tumors in the uterus or ovaries do not cause any pain at all, but during sexual intercourse, the tumor may twist or rupture, and acute or chronic abdominal pain may occur.

5. Intestinal reverse peristalsis

When a man uses too much force during sexual intercourse, the woman's abdominal pressure suddenly increases. The uterus, rectum, and bladder are squeezed by gravity, causing reverse peristalsis of the intestine and causing abdominal pain.

6. Emotional tension or psychological disorders

Some people are emotionally nervous or have psychological disorders, and experience vaginal spasms before sexual intercourse, which are reflected in the abdomen and cause pain. However, this type of pain is mild and will not last long. As long as you rest well afterwards, you will soon return to normal.

2. What to do if you have lower abdominal distension and pain after sex

Rest first and see if the abdominal pain can be relieved. Whether abdominal pain after sex is a sign of disease can be determined by taking a good rest for a day or two. If there is still no improvement, it is recommended to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital to rule out pelvic inflammation, pelvic congestion and other diseases, and take appropriate medication and physical therapy.

3. How to avoid abdominal distension and pain after sex

Having sex very intensely, for a long time, and at a high frequency, especially when the woman is not fully prepared, and the man using too much force can cause excessive spasm of the woman's pelvic muscles and cause abdominal pain. Young women who have little sexual experience and whose bodies are not fully developed are more likely to experience this type of abdominal pain because their bodies are unable to adapt. It is recommended that inexperienced, underdeveloped, and short women should not have overly intense sex. Pay attention to controlling the rhythm, proceed step by step, and don't use too much force. If you feel uncomfortable, tell your partner the truth. Based on the above reasons, you must pay attention to eliminating tension before sexual intercourse, and be gentle during sexual intercourse.
