What causes pain after sex?

For many women, sexual life after marriage is a certainty, but they often feel pain after sexual life, although it is not very severe. When encountering such a situation, women do not need to worry too much, because this is sometimes a normal physiological reaction. If this happens every time you have sex, it may be related to your physical health. So, why does pain occur after sex?

1. Physiological factors

(1) Female physiological structure: The bottom of the female urethra and bladder are very close to the vagina, and the pelvic organs such as the uterus and its appendages are even closer to the vagina. These female organs are easily stimulated by external pressure and biological factors. During sexual intercourse, the male's penis twitches violently, which can cause strong stimulation to the female's vagina, abdominal cavity, and pelvic organs, causing the female to breathe rapidly and her entire body to contract involuntarily, especially during orgasm. This phenomenon is more obvious. In fact, this process will also cause pain, but because the attention is not on the pain, the pain is not felt obviously, and the lower abdominal pain is felt after intercourse. However, for most women, the pain will be relieved on its own shortly after the end of sexual intercourse.

(2) Excessive force and squeezing by the man during sexual intercourse: During sexual intercourse, if the man uses excessive force or the squeezing is too strong, or the body position is incorrect, it is easy to increase the abdominal pressure of the woman, affect the movement of the intestine, squeeze the uterus, rectum, and bladder by gravity, and sometimes reverse peristalsis may occur, which manifests as paroxysmal abdominal pain.

(3) Abdomen gets cold after sex: Some couples do not keep warm after sex. Because they often feel hot during sex, they like to use air conditioning or fans to cool down after sex. For women, getting cold in the lower abdomen can easily cause paroxysmal lower abdominal pain.

(4) Abdominal pain caused by semen allergy: Some women are allergic to semen. If they do not take proper contraceptive measures during intercourse, semen will enter the female body and may induce lower abdominal pain during intercourse, or other allergic symptoms such as vomiting and migratory joint pain.

2. Pathological factors

(1) Gynecological inflammation: Lower abdominal pain after sexual intercourse may be caused by gynecological inflammation, such as cervicitis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Under the stimulation of sexual intercourse, it is easy to cause the female's uterine cervix to contract during orgasm. Sometimes because the man's movements are too violent, the penis is pumping too fast and with too much amplitude, or because the penis is inserted too deeply, the penis hits the diseased area and causes lower abdominal pain, and sometimes a small amount of vaginal bleeding. This type of lower abdominal pain lasts for a long time and does not disappear when sexual intercourse ends.

(2) Corpus luteum rupture: If lower abdominal pain occurs suddenly and is severe during sexual intercourse, it may be caused by a rupture of the corpus luteum. During sexual intercourse, if the mature follicles and corpus luteum are squeezed and vibrated, sudden severe pain and abdominal bleeding may occur. If this happens, you should seek medical attention immediately.
