One of the most unpleasant symptoms that greatly reduces the quality of life and seriously affects psychological well-being is abdominal pain during sex. As a rule, it is mainly women who go to the doctor with such a complaint, which is due both to physiological reasons and to the fact that the fair sex is inclined to openly talk about the state of their health.
Men are more private in this regard, and it often takes many years before they see a doctor complaining of abdominal pain during sex.
Why does my lower abdomen hurt after the first time?
The cause of pain after intimacy can be:
- Bloating. Some positions during sexual intercourse lead to air entering the girl's body. Its excessive absorption is observed when the partner breathes unevenly, this provokes an increase in the intensity of pain.
- Cervical polyp. In addition to pain, the vagina tenses and spasms bother you. If the polyp is traumatically damaged, bleeding may occur.
- Ovarian cyst.
- Vaginal candidiasis, sexually transmitted infections. There are complaints of hyperemia, swelling of the labia, burning and itching.
- Adhesions, endometriosis.
- Fibrous neoplasms or fibroids. During sexual intercourse, the tumor can put pressure on the uterus and organs that are located nearby.
- Cervicitis is inflammation of the cervix. Penis insertion causes vaginal irritation.
- Emotional stress.
- Orgasm. When orgasm is achieved, a strong contraction of the uterus and vagina occurs, which may result in pain. It is usually light and euphoric and does not cause much discomfort.
- Too intense and harsh sexual contact. Sharp and rough penetration of the penis into the vagina leads to strong pressure in the lower abdomen, resulting in pain. A woman may have problems with bowel movements for several days after intense sex.
- Insufficient vaginal lubrication.
Sexual anxiety and its psychosomatic manifestations
Psychogenic sexual disorders are not a reality on the pages of textbooks on sexology. This is a very real diagnosis, the manifestations of which are observed in every eighth girl. The problem is often characteristic of inexperienced and young lovers. Their expectations from intimacy are especially high, and as a result of some little thing that the partner does not even attach importance to, they will receive psychological trauma. This can affect the rest of your life.
Such girls may subsequently become cold or even completely frigid. Various sexual deviations may appear.
Another common problem that manifests itself on a physical level is the fear of pregnancy. Even with protection, these thoughts can become intrusive. A common fear of many girls is pregnancy. Pain in the lower abdomen after sex in this case is psychosomatic in nature, since there is no real reason for it. Attacks of nausea and weakness may also appear, although in reality there will be no reason for such feelings.
What to do if you have abdominal pain after the first sex
If a pathological symptom appears after sex, especially if it recurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor. It is necessary to exclude gynecological diseases.
The gynecologist can refer the patient to specialized specialists - a urologist and gastroenterologist; symptoms may indicate diseases of the digestive tract or urinary system.
You should urgently seek medical help if the following alarming symptoms appear:
- prolonged and too intense pain;
- bloody discharge;
- the appearance of nausea, vomiting;
- copious vaginal discharge mixed with pus or mucus.
To eliminate an unpleasant symptom, a different treatment regimen may be prescribed, it all depends on the nature of the pain, the type of pathology and the provoking factor of its occurrence. If it is a thrush or a cyst, drug treatment is carried out; some conditions require surgical intervention, for example, large cysts, fibroids, fibrosis.
Prevention methods: how to prevent painful sex
Why does my lower abdomen hurt after sex? This question interests many girls. The most common causes and ways to eliminate them are listed above.
It is always easier to prevent the development of a disease than to treat it. Here are simple tips on how to do this:
What does dull, pulling, point or cutting pain in the abdomen indicate?
The presence of pain in any part of the body indicates the progression of the disease. The nature of the pain syndrome is classified into pathological and physiological (the case of pregnancy).
Nagging painful sensations can be a temporary ailment or appear suddenly with such intensity that the patient cannot cope with them (there may be a serious threat to health).
Painful sensations indicate:
- gastrointestinal disorders;
- kidney problems (pain radiates to the lumbar region);
- inflammation of the urinary and reproductive systems.
Any disorder of the gastrointestinal tract is a consequence of ongoing diseases; their carrier often has no idea about the presence of problems in the body.
Reasons why the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract is disrupted:
- Peptic ulcer: the intensity of pain varies - from moderately weak to unbearably strong. In case of acute cutting pain, urgent medical intervention is carried out, because probably the release of acidic stomach contents into the abdominal cavity.
- Inflammation of the mucous membrane (gastritis): manifests itself in dull, aching pain, heartburn (often after a person has eaten).
- Pancreatitis: pain begins in the upper abdomen, tormenting for several days, while eating, the discomfort intensifies (bloating is felt, the temperature may rise).
- Inflammation of the gallbladder: pain in the right hypochondrium, often radiating to the arm, chest and neck on the right side.
Diseases reveal themselves by tingling, nausea, vomiting, and fever.
Rare sources:
- Stomach polyps: diagnosis is difficult; the medical history consists of a dull aching pain on palpation, bleeding, nausea, and vomiting.
- Cancer: characterized by a constant, mild aching feeling in the stomach.
- Stress: great physical and emotional stress can cause disturbances in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, causing a feeling of pain in it (stool upset and vomiting may occur).
- Allergy: when an allergen enters the body, an aching feeling appears that does not have a clear localization.
If the pain is physiological in nature, i.e. a woman is carrying a child, this is a natural phenomenon: the growing uterus puts pressure on nearby organs, resulting in a feeling of discomfort.
How sex toys can help with treatment
Special toys will help you overcome psychological disorders of a sexual nature.
They promote emancipation, getting rid of phobias, and gaining impressions that are not similar to the usual traditional relationship with a person of the opposite sex. The selection of intimate goods puts you in a playful mood.
Their range is huge and accessible. First, buy lubricants, special lubricants that promote additional slip. Don't fall into the stereotype that insensitive girls use lubricants. This is wrong! Secondly, pay attention to vibrators, among them you can find vaginal and clitoral stimulators.
Dildos can be used either alone or with a man. If you're shy, try them out for yourself. Train your body for pleasure and orgasm. Sharing sex toys with your sexual partner will add zest to your relationship!
When do you need to see a doctor urgently, and which doctor will help?
Of course, going to the clinic at the first sensation of pain is not necessary. Perhaps a hearty breakfast is poorly absorbed by the body, or the yogurt has expired.
But there are a number of cases when seeing the doctor on time means avoiding negative consequences:
- A strong, piercing pain that appeared for the first time.
- For a long time (up to a week) the feeling of discomfort and heaviness does not go away; if the feeling intensifies, then it is better not to wait a week, but to consult in time.
- Flatulence lasting a couple of days.
- Associated symptoms include frequent urination or a burning sensation that appears during the process.
- Stool disorder is observed for four or more days.
- An elevated temperature is added, which indicates an inflammatory process in the body.
- Pain radiating to the chest, neck, lower back.
If a woman is in an “interesting” position, then any deviation from the norm is a reason for urgent consultation with a specialist.
There are a number of accompanying symptoms that indicate that you cannot do without medical help:
- changes in the patient’s behavior: previously cheerful and full of energy, with the onset of the disease he becomes apathetic and lethargic;
- vomit;
- problems with stool;
- the abdominal wall is in a tense state;
- the pulse is quickened, the person feels hot and cold, and perspiration appears;
- pronounced pallor of the skin.
Doctors of different specializations help with existing problems. A gastroenterologist will help if we are talking about gastrointestinal disorders (usually related to food). If you suspect genitourinary problems, you should seek help from a urologist; women should visit a gynecologist. If discomfort is caused by the groin area, a proctologist will help.
If it is difficult for the patient to self-diagnose the condition (“It just hurts here, but I don’t know what”), it is best to start visiting the clinic with a therapist, who will prescribe the appropriate tests and tell you which specialist to contact. If a child needs help, a pediatrician will consult.

- Strictly limit or eliminate the consumption of foods high in fat, flour, and sweets;
- coffee is an enemy to health, try to give it up completely;
- food products made with the help of deep processing of meat (sausages, sausages) are one of the possible causes of the development of colon cancer: by refusing to eat them, you will not lose anything; eating natural meat is more beneficial;

Pain during sexual intercourse: causes
Photo: Pain during sexual intercourse
Identifying the true cause of the development of a pain symptom requires a more in-depth study of the problem and establishing the degree of arousal of the female body before sexual intercourse. Insufficient preparation for the rapprochement process can occur in the following situations:
- instability of relationships with one partner;
- existing conflict of reciprocity;
- not using pre-stimulation techniques and techniques.
In such a situation, the psychological factors of pain formation are very quickly triggered in the absence of sufficient hydration of the vaginal mucosa, and with the constant repetition of the use of inadequate techniques of mutual caress and play, this is an expected factor in sexual intimacy.
What causes sudden abdominal pain?
Pain is explained by the body's response to irritants. By its nature one can determine the original source.
cutting
If the abdominal cavity seems to be cut into pieces, most likely the problem lies in the upper parts of the gastrointestinal tract: the stomach, duodenum, pancreas.
The appearance of pain: hydrochloric acid, which is part of the gastric juice, has an aggressive effect on the mucous membrane, which is already damaged.
This is where pain of a burning nature arises. If a person is sick with pancreatitis, then damage to the solar plexus becomes quite possible.
Intestinal colic also reveals itself as a cutting pain. They appear against the background of stress, overwork and other reasons. If a person has acute gastritis, to which food poisoning is added, then such symptoms cannot be avoided.
Stabbing
For various intestinal problems, the most common complaint among patients is stabbing pain in the navel area. Various damaging factors affect the smooth muscles of the intestinal wall, thereby causing its sharp contraction.
Intestinal spasms can simultaneously manifest as stabbing and cutting pain, especially when it comes to food poisoning.
Shingles in the abdominal area
Dull pain surrounding the abdominal cavity has not many causes. It all depends on its location. If it appears on both sides and extends to the top of the navel, then it may be inflammation of the pancreas, or acute pancreatitis. One of the factors in the manifestation and progression of diseases is considered to be excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages.
If the symptom appears on one side along the lower rib, then we can talk about damage to the spinal nerve. The lesion may be a consequence of a previous injury or intervertebral hernia.
Paroxysmal
If a painful feeling manifests itself in attacks according to the “let go-grabbed” principle, then most likely the problem is an intestinal disorder. The process is explained by intestinal peristalsis (complex movements that move a bolus of food).
Pulsating
Perhaps the most dangerous species. It may indicate a purulent process in the abdominal cavity. For example, it could be an abscess that appears as a result of acute appendicitis.
An inflamed pancreas manifests itself with the same symptoms.
Uterine fibroids
Benign tumor.
It can be localized in the muscular layer of the uterus, in the cavity or on its surface. Usually occurs due to hormonal imbalances and consists of several nodules of different sizes at once. The risk of the neoplasm becoming malignant is small, however, it is necessary to monitor its growth and behavior. If a patient has pain in her side during and after sex, and the discomfort radiates to the lower back or legs, she is often diagnosed with fibroids. In addition, intermenstrual bleeding occurs, and periods become more abundant and prolonged. Frequent urination and constipation are possible if the growth puts pressure on nearby organs. Heart pain and headaches also occur, hot flashes and sweating appear.
If there are no manifestations, the neoplasm is not treated, but it is constantly monitored. If alarming symptoms occur, hormonal therapy is indicated to stop the growth of nodes and reduce their size. If the fibroid enlarges greatly and complications occur, surgery is performed. The type of intervention depends on the woman’s age and the location of the growths.
What do various abdominal pains indicate when eating various foods?
According to medical statistics, a third of the world's population experiences discomfort in the abdominal area due to poor nutrition. Therefore, for those who have digestive problems, it is better to avoid some names.
Legumes
Belonging to the legume family, vegetables are rich in minerals and vitamins. But at the same time, the oligosaccharides they contain increase gas formation produced by the digestive system. This is where pain occurs, irritable bowel syndrome.
Soaking legumes overnight will improve their properties. But if this procedure is futile, it is better to switch to whole grains.
Carbonated drinks
If in the case of legume products, complete rejection of them is recommended only under extreme circumstances, then rejection of carbonated drinks is one of the prerequisites for a healthy stomach and intestines.
Any “soda” is characterized by a high level of carbon dioxide, which contributes to bloating and the appearance of pain. That is, with every sip of a carbonated drink a person consciously adds gases to the body, which is where the spasms begin.
Since “soda” does not have the slightest nutritional value, you can safely replace it with freshly squeezed juices and fresh juices.
Wheat
According to studies, gluten contained in wheat can contribute to digestive system disorders. But the usual diet of many people largely consists of this cereal.
If you are hypersensitive to gluten, it is recommended to completely avoid this crop, as well as similar ones that also contain gluten: rye, barley, oats, etc.
Eating products containing wheat grains can lead to pain, diarrhea, flatulence, and bloating.
Onion
Most people, even with their mother’s milk, learn the rule that onions are healthy, the more you eat, the better, you will get sick less.
But, if a person has problems with the gastrointestinal tract, then the sulfur compounds and fructans that make up raw onions will cause flatulence, bloating and pain. To avoid this, it is recommended to replace onions with other spicy herbs that do not have a similar effect.
Dairy
Due to the high level of lactose, contrary to the general opinion about their usefulness, they cause irreparable harm to health. Butter, cheeses, milk, and yogurt contain milk sugar, which causes discomfort in the stomach.
People who are lactose intolerant suffer from bloating, intestinal cramps, diarrhea and increased gas formation after consuming milk-containing products.
An excellent alternative to cow's milk is soy, rice, coconut or almond milk. They are also rich in beneficial microelements, but do not cause problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
Apples
“An apple a day and you don’t have to go to the doctor,” says a well-known proverb. But the high fructose and fiber content makes the apple a source of bloating, excess gas accumulation in the intestines and digestive problems.
If it is not possible to completely give up apples, you should try cooking them - this will reduce the pain of side effects.
Garlic
The fructans and sulfur contained in garlic cloves contribute to the appearance of bloating, cramps, and stomach pain. Garlic is also considered a powerful allergen. People with garlic intolerance experience painful flatulence and unpleasant belching after eating it.
Heat treatment of garlic usually helps to avoid unpleasant consequences after eating.
Don't rush to completely give up your favorite foods. Try reducing the amount of them in your diet and subjecting them to various treatments, which will reduce the likelihood of side effects.
