What causes lower abdominal pain during sex?

Marital life, or what we call sex life, is a medium for emotional communication between mature men and women. Many young men and women are keen on this kind of thing. However, recently many friends have told me that after having sex, they often experience lower abdominal pain. They want to know what is going on and whether they need to go to the hospital for treatment. They hope we can give them some advice first, as they all feel a little embarrassed to go to the hospital for treatment. So, what is the cause of lower abdominal pain during sex?

There are two reasons why women experience abdominal pain during sexual intercourse: physiological and pathological. There are four main reasons:

1. It may be that the man used too much force or the position was improper. If the man is too rough during sexual intercourse, the woman's abdominal pressure will suddenly increase, the uterus, rectum and bladder will be squeezed by gravity, and the intestine will undergo reverse peristalsis, causing abdominal pain. If the woman is on top, the position of the uterus, appendages and other organs may easily change, and exert a pulling effect on the surrounding tissues, causing dull pain in the lower abdomen and waist. This pain usually subsides on its own when sexual intercourse ends.

2. 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.

3. Pelvic inflammation (such as vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.) can cause persistent pain in the lower abdomen of women, and the symptoms will be 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.

4. Pain during sexual intercourse in pregnant women is mostly caused by semen. Because the prostaglandins in semen can cause uterine contractions in women, especially those who are pregnant, this can not only cause abdominal pain, but may even lead to premature birth or miscarriage. Therefore, sexual intercourse should be moderate during pregnancy. Some women are allergic to men's semen or condoms, which causes systemic allergies and allergic abdominal pain. Changing your birth control method may stop the pain.

That’s all we have to say about what causes lower abdominal pain during sexual intercourse. In fact, we must take this issue seriously. There are several causes, some of which are caused by diseases. Therefore, after this happens, as a woman, I would recommend that you go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out whether it is caused by any disease.
