Why do I feel pain in my lower abdomen after sex?

Many female friends have experienced this situation. After passionate sex, they feel bloating and heaviness in their lower abdomen, which ruins their originally happy mood. In fact, women often experience lower abdominal pain, such as menstrual discomfort and dysmenorrhea. So, let’s talk about the causes of lower abdominal pain after sexual intercourse. What should women do when they experience lower abdominal pain after sex?

(1) When there is urethritis or inflammation of the urethra, sexual intercourse will cause local irritation. As the perineal muscles contract, the muscles around the urethra and perineum also contract synergistically, and spasmodic dull pain and discomfort will reappear for a period of time after intercourse.

(ii) Cervicitis or cervical erosion. Direct stimulation from sexual intercourse, especially the contraction of the cervix during orgasm, can lead to persistent discomfort in the genitals afterwards, and sometimes a small amount of vaginal bleeding.

(III) When women suffer from vulvitis or vaginitis, they often experience pain during sexual intercourse, which is more obvious after the intercourse. In this case, they need to go to the hospital for examination immediately. There is inflammation in these parts, and there is usually local congestion and swelling. During sexual intercourse, the local congestion becomes more severe. Mechanical stimulation during sexual intercourse and strong contraction of the vaginal muscles during orgasm can aggravate the pain and discomfort in the genitals.

(iv) Occasional pain and discomfort in the genitals after sexual intercourse may be caused by sexual intercourse lasting too long or being too intense. There is no need to panic. If the above symptoms occur after each sexual intercourse, the cause should be found out, timely treatment should be sought, and sexual intercourse should be suspended to avoid aggravating the condition and symptoms.

The above is an introduction to the reasons why women experience lower abdominal pain after sexual intercourse. When such symptoms occur, be sure to remember to stop having sex. Especially married women should pay attention to hygiene after sex and develop the habit of washing their lower body afterwards to reduce bacterial invasion. If the pain becomes more and more severe, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
