🔥 “Unlock the Mystery: 7 Shocking Reasons Why You Feel Pain After Sex!” 🔥

There are many reasons to feel pain after sex. Here’s a look at them.

1. Pregnancy:
   • Some women may experience abdominal pain after sex during pregnancy.
   • Rule out pregnancy first, as it could be related to an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage before 20 weeks¹.
2. Endometriosis:
   • Abdominal pain after sex is a common sign of endometriosis.
   • Endometriosis occurs when cells resembling those of the uterus grow in other parts of the body, including the fallopian tubes.
   • Other symptoms include painful periods and infertility¹.
3. Adenomyosis:
   • Closely related to endometriosis, adenomyosis triggers pain due to uterine glands growing into the muscle wall.
   • Sexual relations can lead to cramping or aching.
   • Treatment options include hormonal management and, if fertility is not an issue, a hysterectomy¹.
4. Malpositioned IUD:
   • An intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) that becomes displaced from the uterine wall can cause abdominal pain after sex.
   • It may feel like pressure or poking pain.
   • A vaginal exam or ultrasound can determine the IUD’s location¹.
5. Uterine Fibroids:
   • Large uterine fibroids (leiomyomas or myomas) can cause significant pain during intercourse.
   • Seek medical evaluation for appropriate management¹.
6. Digestive System Issues:
   • Constipation, gas, and other bowel problems (such as irritable bowel syndrome) can lead to cramping after sex².
7. Other Conditions:
   • Conditions like vulvodynia, interstitial cystitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can also cause lower abdominal pain during or after sexual activity³⁴.

Remember, if you experience persistent stomach pain after sex, consult a healthcare professional to identify and address the underlying cause. 🌟
