Sex life is a wonderful thing, but some women experience abdominal pain after sex, which affects sexual life treatment. There are also some women who refuse to have sex because they are afraid of pain, which eventually leads to frigidity. The cause of abdominal pain after intercourse should be found promptly and symptomatic relief should be provided.

What causes abdominal pain after sex?

1. Pelvic congestion

During sexual intercourse, the various organs in the pelvic cavity are rich in blood. The proportion of veins in the pelvic cavity exceeds that of arteries. Most of the small and medium-sized veins do not have venous valves, which increases the risk of pelvic congestion. The main symptoms of pelvic congestion are lower abdominal pain, lower back pain, increased menstrual flow and leucorrhea, abdominal pain during sexual intercourse or painful intercourse. This condition can be relieved by ovarian vein embolization.

2. Rupture of corpus luteum

After the egg is released, the follicle can form the corpus luteum, which is just a thin membrane. If sexual intercourse is too vigorous, it may cause rupture of the corpus luteum, resulting in bleeding from the ovarian arterioles. When the corpus luteum ruptures, there will be severe pain on one side, with a tearing-like feeling. If there is excessive intra-abdominal bleeding, shock and acute abdomen may occur. You can only go to the hospital in time to stop the bleeding through surgery.

3. Uterine contraction

After a woman reaches orgasm after sexual intercourse, the vaginal and uterine muscles will continue to spasm and contract, causing pain in the lower abdomen. This type of abdominal pain does not require any treatment. As long as you pay more attention to rest, it will gradually subside. You must pay attention to sex life and not be too intense.

4. Pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is divided into acute and chronic. The onset of acute pelvic inflammatory disease is sudden. Abdominal pain and anal distension will occur during sexual intercourse. In severe cases, it will be accompanied by fever. At this time, active anti-inflammatory treatment is required. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can cause adhesion of various organs in the abdominal cavity, which can cause abdominal pain during sexual intercourse.

5. Pelvic endometriosis

Pelvic endometriosis means that the endometrium is planted deep in the pelvic cavity. Severe abdominal pain will occur every time during sexual intercourse, accompanied by dysmenorrhea, tenesmus during defecation, and low back pain. Give priority to drugs, which can inhibit endometrial proliferation and relieve pain through hormones, but drugs can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Surgery can also be used to remove deep endometriosis lesions.

Warm reminder

Be careful to be gentle during sex, and wear condoms if you don’t have a need for reproduction. Carefully clean the reproductive area before and after sexual intercourse to avoid microbial invasion that may induce gynecological inflammation. If women suffer from gynecological inflammation, they should be actively treated and avoid sexual intercourse during this period to avoid discomfort during intercourse.
