Pain in the abdomen after intercourse

Pain in the lower abdomen, which appeared after sexual intercourse, is considered a common occurrence. It is impossible to determine the cause without diagnosis, but the most common is incorrect behavior during sex, inflammatory processes. Pain is experienced by both men and women. There is discomfort and pain in the lower abdomen during intercourse and after it.

Women experience painful urges in the perineum in the form of a dull, stabbing, sharp pain. The vagina, labia are exposed to pain, where burning and itching are felt. In the lumbar region, there is a pulling, dull, prolonged pain. Males are less likely to experience painful urges that are felt in the area of the head of the penis, as well as deep in the abdomen or perineum, manifesting as a dull, aching pain.

Sources of pain in women

The basis is the features of sexual intercourse, gynecological diseases. Excessively energetic, traumatic sex can be combined with diseases, from which there is a sharp pain in the lower abdomen.

The main pathologies are known:

• Discomfort occurs with cervicitis;
• Cervical erosion;
• Intrauterine and cervical tumors;
• Myomas.

Loss of virginity

The initial period of sexual activity is sometimes accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen. The duration of uncomfortable sensations lasts the first few times, then subsides and disappears completely. There is the appearance of spotting, which is considered the norm.

Mechanical rupture of the hymen in virgins is called defloration. The sources of painful sensations during the first sexual experience are caused by a feeling of fear that affects the whole body, and especially the muscles of the vagina, which are forced to contract. There are girls who have a thickened hymen with many nerve endings, but more often it has great elasticity, and during sex it does not break through, but stretches, which does not cause pain or cause bleeding.

Feelings of fear do not arise if partners trust each other, use a reliable contraceptive, for example, a condom. Protection from foreign microbes allows at the moment of rupture of the hymen to prevent foreign bacteria from entering the body, protecting against inflammation in the form of cystitis, colpitis and other complications.

To relax, it is enough to be in a calm environment, take a warm bath with foam, take time for foreplay, and also do not forget about them during sexual intercourse. In this case, there is no discomfort and fear.

Doctors advise using water-based lubricants to reduce the level of pain during intercourse. Oil-based lubricants should be avoided. If you use them with a latex condom, it will quickly lose strength and break when exposed to oil.

Vaginismus, stressful situations, hostility to a partner

Psychologists say that the first sex is extremely important for a person, so it is necessary to create all the conditions for it to be successful and enjoyable. If it turns out to be unsuccessful, or the girl was raped, throughout her life she may be haunted by fear and dislike for the sexual act. The brain, under the influence of fear, will give signals to the muscles of the vagina to start spasms, believing that sex cannot be without pain.

This situation, when it is not the partner who is to blame for moving the penis, but the contracted muscles of the vagina, also occurs during examinations by a gynecologist.

Reasons for fear:

• Detection during intercourse;
• Negative attitude towards partner, dislike;
• Fear of inexperience;
• Thoughts of possible pregnancy, other.

Negative emotions lead to spasms, the muscles of the perineum contract, painful urges begin. You need a calm environment, a pleasant atmosphere, from preparation for sex to the very end of sexual intercourse. It is necessary to talk and find out what moments cause fear, and then avoid them.

A relaxed woman who trusts the doctor will not feel pain in the gynecologist's chair. When vaginismus occurs, the emphasis is on identifying and getting rid of women's fears, changing the relationship with a partner, looking for someone she will trust. When the problem persists, vaginismus is treated by qualified professionals.

Correct poses

A significant role is played by the size of the genitals of partners, the positions used for sex. With a short and narrow vagina, but a large male penis, it is necessary to avoid positions where a man penetrates deeply into a woman, thereby causing severe pain.

It is known that the vagina has a high extensibility, and if a man's penis does not belong to the "clinical giants", pain should not occur and the reason lies elsewhere. Partners should be able to discuss what is happening, in case of discomfort, say about it, and not endure suffering.

Not enough vaginal lube

• Partner does not want to have sex;
• Dislikes partner;
• Afraid of unwanted pregnancy;
• Bartholin's gland was previously removed;
• There is bartholinitis;
• Hormonal imbalance: use of hormonal contraceptives, postpartum period, menopause.

The quality of sex is reduced due to the lack of sufficient lubrication. In the thickness of the labia majora, glands that have ducts at the entrance to the vagina are engaged in the production of lubrication. The more excited a woman is, the more active the production is.

Inflammatory processes

STDs are indicated by dryness and friction, painful urges, itching, and a burning sensation that occurred during or after intimacy. We are talking about candidiasis, trichomoniasis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, ureaplasmosis. At the time of examination and detection of a possible disease, they stop intimate life or use a condom.

When an infection is detected, both partners are treated and condoms are used, even if the man's test is negative. Inflammatory processes are also caused by fungi, Escherichia coli, staphylococcus, and other microorganisms, which respond well to treatment.

Allergic reactions

Personal hygiene practices can cause pain by irritating the genital area. When particles of chemical constituents are affected, then:

• Stop using products when washing the genitals, use only warm, clean water;
• Use only cotton underwear before putting on, wash a new thing;
• Use hypoallergenic unscented laundry detergents;
• Choose toilet paper without dye and odor;
• Refuse spermicides;
• If the situation does not improve after the changes, seek advice and assistance to doctors.

Bloating

Some positions and rapid breathing bring a lot of air into the woman's body, causing pain and nausea.

To avoid trouble, do the following:

• Choose a position where the air does not pass inward, and the pressure goes to the abdomen;
• Place a pillow under the abdomen;
• Lightly press on the abdomen above the pubis before than to insert the penis, the action is repeated after the act, but without a partner, an unpleasant sound of gas will appear;
• During intercourse, they inhale the air evenly, calmly, without swallowing;
• To gases came out painlessly, after intercourse lie on the stomach.

Spikes
