What causes stomach pain after sex?

If you are prone to abdominal pain after sexual intercourse, you should pay attention to it, because many reasons may cause this symptom, such as gynecological inflammation in women or improper posture during sexual intercourse, or some sudden accidents, which may cause abdominal pain.

(1) Prostaglandin problem: Prostaglandins in male semen can cause uterine contractions in pregnant women, which can not only cause abdominal pain but may also cause premature birth or miscarriage. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers should exercise moderation in sexual intercourse and husbands should use condoms.

(2) Crush syndrome: The man is too big and uses too much force during sexual intercourse, which causes the woman's abdominal pressure to suddenly increase. The uterus, rectum, and bladder are squeezed by gravity, and the intestines reverse peristalsis, causing abdominal pain.

(3) Sudden accidents: Ectopic pregnancy and mature follicles and corpus luteum may suddenly rupture after being squeezed or vibrated, causing severe abdominal pain or abdominal bleeding.

(4) Stress response: The female urethra and bladder base are close to the vagina. The uterus and its appendages are closely related to the vagina and are easily stimulated by external pressure and biological factors. When sexual impulses cause the sexual organs to become congested, the pelvic tissues will experience varying degrees of stress responses, with the tissues contracting or spasming, causing abdominal pain. It often occurs in people who are having sexual intercourse for the first time and can gradually alleviate afterwards.

(5) Improper body position: When the woman is on top during sexual intercourse, the position of organs such as the uterine appendages changes, and a pulling effect is exerted on the surrounding tissues, causing dull pain in the lower abdomen and waist. Prolonged sexual desire causes pelvic congestion syndrome, and acute or chronic abdominal pain may also occur.

(6) Gynecological inflammation: Most patients who experience abdominal pain after sex are found to have gynecological inflammation, with pelvic inflammatory disease being the most common cause of pain. Pelvic inflammatory disease can be acute or chronic. When pain occurs, it is recommended that you do not take it lightly and go to a regular gynecological hospital for a confirmed diagnosis and then receive targeted treatment to avoid delaying the disease and causing serious consequences.
