I am 28 years old, in a long term relationship and have always enjoyed an active sex-life
About a year ago,i started to experience severe pain during sex with my boyfriend, we had been together three years at that stage and it had never hurt before. as soon as he penetrated me it felt like someone stabbed me in the lower right side of my abdomen, i mean so painful we had to stop straight away, and then for about half an hour afterwards i felt like i had menstrual cramps. this happened every time, especially if it went in deep, and so we eventually stopped having sex. when i masturbated(clitoral, no penetration) as soon as i came i got the same severe menstrual cramp-like symptoms. obviously this problem is affecting my relationship as we rarely have sex now, but also i'm extremely worried because the pain during sex really was sooo bad, and it felt as though he was hitting off something really swolen and inflamed, but over on the right of my abdomen. really wierd.
Anyone experienced anything similar? any advice?

Nire,

The same thing happened to me today. I am a 24 year old female with a histoy of ovarian cysts. Other than said cystal development I am otherwise healthy. Today I was enjoying a bout of rather rough sex with my boyfriend of 1 year when I suddenly experienced a sharp pain in my lower abdomen (I probably should insert here that he is the only sexual partner I have ever had). We too had to stop having sex due to my extreme pain. This feeling still persists now, more than 3 hours after we stopped having intercourse.

I am extremely nervous that this is something serious . My boyfriend insists that he must have just hit my cervix too hard but I still worry that it could be a sign of endomitriosis or something just as dangerous. If I find some useful information I will be sure to pass it along.

GOOD LUCK!

Hi there,

I had a very normal sex life up until after my daughter was born.. Between my daughter and my son, I had the same issue.. occasionally I would be fine, but most of the time it was extremely painful, and afterwards even more so, and would usualy last anywhere up to 48 hrs after.
Since having my son, I think it has maybe gotten a little worse.. I was absolutely fed up with the situation - thinking I was the only 23 year old with a crappy sex life.. but they did tests... they also did ultrasounds.. internal and abdominal... but they couldn't see anything wrong.

The one thing you've said is that it hurts on one side... this is pretty interesting as I get the pain mostly on the left side..
whilst having the internal ultrasound, she put pressure on the left ovary and the pain was there... and then left once the pressure was gone.

My theory is that even though they may not see something, it might still be something to do with the ovary.. I'm going to go to a specialist to see if they can look into it further as the doctor I recently saw, tried to tell me there was pretty much nothing they could do... and that we should just try and "find a more comfortable position".... haha!!!!
Like you said, its not necessarily the penetration that causes this pain, it's usually when climax is reached.. which is muscular... could be a muscle thing and sensetive ovaries.. or something wrong with the ovary and when in climax, the pressure is put on the problem

If that makes sense.. I was hoping to find someone who had an answer, but unfortunately this is one that might not have a clear answer.

you're message was from a while back - I hope you found out a cure to this problem - I totally sympathize as I'm 24 now, and I've had this for almost 5 years.
