Sharp Pain During Sex
I was with my husband a few days ago when I felt a sharp stabbing pain on my right side (internally). It knocked the wond out of me it was so painful.
Now it's a few days later and I still have pain in that location (not as painful) it feels like a pulled muscle or a bad cramp. I saw my OB for my yearly exam (did not mention the pain- I know I should be have) but there was nothing abnormal looking and when he pushed it didn't hurt.
What did I do?
I've had similar pain before each time something was inserted/sexual act.

Re: Sharp Pain During Sex
Hello - sorry to hear of this pain. We will be running a gynae clinic in March - where you can certainly post a question to our expert but I certainly hope you can get it sorted out long before then. If you type in sexual intercourse and pain into our search function on talkhealth - you will find a mix of other members concerns and some previous information on it from our experts.
From Mr Stergios (Stelios) Doumouchtsis, MSc MPH PhD MRCOG, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Subspecialist Urogynaecologist from one of our clinics:
It is important to exclude bacterial infection and anatomical causes.
Some agents used for lubrication may cause more discomfort.
If the symptoms persist despite use of appropriate lubrication, a gynaecological assessment may be indicated.
Alternatively, all other major health websites offer similar advice.
I hope this helps.

Looks like you need to consult a health expert in sexuality. It's usually normal for a woman to experience pain in abdomen however depending on the situation, it may be worse. Its advisable that you take proper medication and pills and if needed supplements.

Re: Sharp Pain During Sex
If you experience sharp pain during sex, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a gynecologist or a urologist, for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. There are several potential causes for this type of pain, including:
Lack of lubrication: Insufficient lubrication can lead to discomfort or pain during sex. This can be addressed by using a water-based lubricant to reduce friction.
Vaginal infections: Infections such as yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis can cause pain during sex. These infections usually come with other symptoms like itching, discharge, or an unpleasant odor. A healthcare professional can provide appropriate treatment.
Endometriosis: This is a condition where the tissue lining the uterus grows outside of it. It can cause pain during sex, as well as other symptoms like pelvic pain and heavy periods. A doctor can evaluate and provide guidance on managing endometriosis.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): PID is an infection of the reproductive organs, often caused by sexually transmitted infections. It can cause pain during sex, along with pelvic pain, abnormal discharge, and fever. Prompt medical attention is necessary for treatment.
Vaginismus: This is a condition where the vaginal muscles involuntarily tighten, making penetration painful or impossible. It can have psychological or physical causes, and treatment may involve therapy, exercises, or other interventions.
These are just a few possible causes of pain during sex, and there may be other factors involved. It's important to discuss your symptoms with a healthcare professional who can evaluate your specific situation and provide appropriate guidance.

Re: Sharp Pain During Sex
The symptoms you described could potentially be related to various factors, including muscle strain, internal inflammation, or even a possible gynaecological issue. However, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and personalized advice. They will be able to evaluate your symptoms, and medical history, and perform any necessary examinations or tests to determine the cause of your pain. It's always recommended to openly discuss any concerns or symptoms with your healthcare provider, as they are best equipped to provide accurate guidance and appropriate treatment options.
