Why do women have lower abdomen pain after having sex?

Many female friends should be bothered by lower abdomen pain after having sex. If it is only a slight occasional pain, observe that the pain disappears after a long time. This situation can be observed at home. However, if every intercourse is accompanied by severe pain or the pain persists or even worsens after a certain intercourse, it is recommended to seek the help of a doctor in time. So, why does this happen? What should we do?

1. Uterine contractions

When experiencing sexual pleasure, some women feel paroxysmal falling pain in their belly. This may be a high point of sexual excitement in women, causing spasm and contraction of the vagina to the uterine muscles, and abdominal pain caused by it. This kind of abdominal pain often does not need to be dealt with and is self-healing. After a short rest, this feeling will slowly dissipate, so there is no need to worry. Especially for women who have experienced uterine contractions, they should be able to grasp this feeling more accurately.

2. Pelvic endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in women that is formed when active endometrial cells are planted outside the endometrium. In addition to this kind of abdominal pain may occur during sex, it may also be accompanied by obvious dysmenorrhea, low back pain, and a feeling of tenes and heaviness during defecation. For this kind of abdominal pain, the methods to relieve it mainly include medication and surgical treatment.

Drugs mainly use hormones to inhibit the proliferation of the endometrium, so as to relieve pain, but this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause. However, surgery, especially for deep endometriosis lesions, is even more difficult to remove than malignant tumors, and even if surgery, it cannot guarantee 100% no recurrence.

3. Rupture of the corpus luteum

When the egg is discharged, the follicle forms the corpus luteum. Sometimes the corpus luteum is only a thin film from the surface of the ovary. If the activity is a little vigorous, it will face the risk of rupture. Once the rupture affects the bleeding of the small arteries of the ovary, So if you want to stop bleeding by your own coagulation function, the possibility is very low.

Most patients with corpus luteum rupture occur after sex or strenuous activities. This kind of pain is often sudden on one side at first, the pain is more intense, there is a feeling of tearing, if there is too much bleeding in the abdominal cavity, symptoms of acute abdomen and shock will soon appear. This kind of abdominal pain usually occurs in the second half of the menstrual cycle (when the corpus luteum is formed), and is often related to sexual life and exercise. For this kind of abdominal pain, you must go to the hospital for treatment, and surgery to stop the bleeding if necessary.

4. Pelvic congestion

During menstruation, ovulation, pregnancy, and sexual life, the blood supply to the various organs of the pelvis is often abundant, and the proportion of the middle pelvic veins in women is much higher than that of the arteries, and most of the small and medium veins do not Venous valve, which greatly increases the chance of female pelvic congestion.

Most people with mild illness do not need medication, and proper physical exercise can be done to increase pelvic muscle tone and improve pelvic blood circulation. Studies have confirmed that pelvic floor muscle training has improved its symptoms. The use of electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback and pelvic floor muscle training can significantly improve abdominal pain, which is significantly better than the sexual function assessment of a single levator anus exercise.

Because electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback and pelvic floor muscle training stimulate the pelvic floor muscles and nerves, the contraction strength and elasticity of the pelvic floor muscles are enhanced, so that the muscles return to their normal dynamic range, thereby coordinating the functional state of local muscles and organs. Therefore, if you want to improve the quality of sexual life, you can exercise the pelvic floor muscles, promote pelvic floor blood circulation, and enhance the contraction force of the pelvic floor muscles, which will help patients obtain a satisfactory sex life and improve the quality of life.
