severe abdominal pain after sex

Im married. I have 3 kids. This is the second time this has happened to me. This morning after sex i had Severe abdominal pain, sweats, tachycardia, nausea,vomiting, and could not find a position to relieve the pain. My hubby gave me a cool cloth on my neck which helped. But I'm laying here an hour later as the pain minimizes. So I believe this happened because I'm constipated. I do have fibroids that have nevr bothered me. But alot of women are constipated or they Dont go to the bathroom regularly. Which is me. I think this from not having a regular BM and the sex hits something and causes the pain. Anyone else think that?

I did go to the ER when this occurred after rough doggystyle. It turns out i had a horrible ovarian cyst. Get checked for that if you still have pain. 

ovarian cysts guys, they start to act up rite before you start your period most will go away, some stay, and some rupture which is when the pain gets REALLY intense so those of you getting sweaty and nearly throwing up, you probably ruptured a cyst, i reccomend if the pain goes away after a short period of time just make a regular appt with your gp but if it lasts and you really just cant handle the pain, go in to the emergency room, they will help you through until the pain subsides...

Hi,
Unlike the rest of the posts writers, I am not a woman, but a freaked out BF. My gf of 28 just experienced this 20 minutes back, basically to what everyone here has posted. I am ashamed to say i didnt do much, just freaked out, all i could do was hold her hand. She is due for her periods soon. Right now she has fallen asleep. Will tell her to read these posts. It was helpful. Thank you all.
Thank you,

Vaginismus is vaginal tightness causing discomfort, burning, pain, penetration problems, or complete inability to have is the cause of her penetration or pain difficulties. intercourse. The vaginal tightness results from the involuntary tightening of the pelvic floor, especially the pubococcygeus (PC) muscle group, although the woman may not be aware that this
May be it can be a type of "vaginismus" maybe when the vagina contracts too much when penis penetrates, it will obviously hurt. we are not robots...

definitley not the only one and it also happens to males as im male! simple remedy! ORANGE JUICE A PINT OF IT. be close to a toilet with paper. youll need a number two straight away but it goes instantly! :D also try mint leaves, hot water and fresh lime squeezed in! 

I too have experienced this. As I am writing this now I am laying in bed in serious pain. Around half an hour ago I finished having sex. Straight after I went to the toilet I started having severe pain. It was agony I lay rubbing my stomach Aswell as my boyfriend tried different laying positions - which nothing worked I was about to get in the bath but found it too hard to move. So instead I took 2 paracetamol and am currently laying on my back. It seems to have eased up abit but I really don't want to move and change positions to see. I wonder what has caused this I seriously never want to experience it again. It got that bad I was thinking about calling for an ambulance!! Pray it never happens again

Hi - I came across this board in a search for what I had just experienced myself last night. From what I'm reading we all seemed to have similar experiences. My bf and I were having sex and during the middle of it (I already had an orgasm, he didn't) I felt pain building up in my pelvis. I had to stop him and I ran into the bathroom, hoping it was some sort of intestinal discomfort or I had to pee... It only got worse after that. I was folding over on the toilet, naked and moaning in pain. My back, arms and neck/face were sweating profusely - dripping even. I didn't want to move, but my bf coaxed me to lay down in the bed. The pain was the worst pain I ever experienced. The sweating continued, I was practically hyperventilating then feeling faint and nauseous. Honestly felt like I was going to die. There were a million thoughts racing in my mind. I remember feeling like two people at once - one that was searching for answers and another who was in excruciating pain. As this continued for about 30 mins, my bf was frantically searching the web for information on what I was experiencing while asking if I thought I needed to go to the ER. I didn't feel like putting on clothes let alone going down the stairs and getting into a car - all of which felt impossible at the time. The sweating made me so cold I started shaking, the pain began to slowly die down and I was so exhausted all I wanted to do was sleep. This morning I had some pain left - which felt more like really bad gas pain - throughout my abdomen/pelvis region. Anyone find out what this could possibly be? I searched and searched on the web and haven't found anything - my gyno didn't have much to say about it either. So odd.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I'm a 39 old with 2 kids n this has NEVER happened to me. It's such an odd pain not quite like menstrual cramps, but not quite abdominal or like a stomache. Me n my boyfriend were having sex last night n it was all of a sudden once he thrusted pretty deep. I called my gyno n she said she's seen this before. Often times she said its due to a small ovarian cyst. She said often women get them with their periods n they can burst suddenly which causes all of the symptoms mentioned by all of us. I knw before I had my kids I was incredibly prone to them, but this is the 1st time since having my boys who r 14 n 12 that I've had any issues. I do for the record hav a copper iud that's about 8 yrs old. The pain has been ongoing for over 12 hrs, but its a dull ache. She said to give it a day n if I don't feel better to come in tmrw. Hope this info helps some of the rest of u guys. Heres hoping we all feel better very soon. :) p.s. man us women really get the short end of the stick on all this c**p. ;)

This just happened to me tonight for the first time. After we orgasmed, instant cramping that got so excruciating it felt like I was going into labour. Felt faint, hot, nauseous. Boyfriend didn't know how to help and I couldn't tell him how to help as I could barely speak. I stayed curled up and it started to subside after about 40mins. Too scared to move yet. What the hell!

I just experienced this kind of pain. I immediately had intense cramping and stabbing like pain right after having sex. I felt nauseated and couldn't get into a comfortable position. I tried a heating pad and a Hott shower, which relieved little pain. I looked up as much information I could worried that something was seriously wrong. The above reviews on this page helped me and were very accurate. After about an hour of unfortunate and terrible pain the pain will slowly go away. My advice, put a movie on and try to distract yourself until the pain subsides!

I have experienced all of this. my pain starts in the front and moves to the back just like it would during labor. Best position for me is downward dog. I can usually get it to stop hurting within ten minutes or so there. But I have had it last so long before that I was taken to the hospital and found out I was 7 weeks pregnant with my daughter. Happened throughout the first trimester with both my kiddos.

Hi everyone. Reading all of these posts made  me feel a bit better that I am not the only one but at the same time, there doesn't seem to be a clear explanation for the pain.

I have just gotten all exams done about 5 months ago. I do them every year as a check up. Never had ovarian cysts or endometirosis. 

Now, these pains have started in December, just 4 months ago. Is it possible that cysts or endometriosis could have develped since my last check up?

The last episode just a few days ago was right after intercourse with my husband. We were in a spooning position, so not so deep, and I had just about ended my menstrual period. A lot of you here are saying this happened before, mine happened after. I also was a bit bloated from gas pains and I did have an orgasm. Some of you mentioned being constipated or having irritable bowel problems that could influence. Did any of you feel this without orgasming? I wonder if he has to do with the contractions of the uterus after orgasm which could make it worse. 

The weirdest thing is, the first two episodes one in December and one in February didn't happen after sex! They happened while I was standing up cooking or walking down the street, they were shorter but just as intense. I had to literally stop what I was doing and sit or lie down, was sweating profusely and even felt nauseous, and a tingling around my pubic area as a reaction to the pain. I am not quite sure but these did happen just before or beginning of my period, I thought they were just more intense menstrual pains due to stress (because I was very stressed during that time).

But with this pain immediately after sex I know something is not right with my body. I went to the local hospital here n Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) where I live, but since I wasn't in pain they didn't really take me seriously. They did a clinical exam and diagnosed me with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, which is caused by a bacteria or STD, but without any lab testes! I only have one partner, my husband, and I am really questioning their diagnosis since they did not do an ultrasound. They put me on antibiotics, and I am taking them just in case, but I have a really strong feeling, especially reading all of your posts that it has nothing to do with an infection. I mean, what kind of bacterial infection lasts 4 months and comes in waves just before/after my period? 

Please let us know if any of you have found any other diagnosis and clues about what this could be. Thank you for your posts, it really made me feel better.

Just happened to me last night and the pains were exactly like the agonizing cramps I had as a teenager (almost as bad as induced labor contractions without an epidural), so I did what worked then...

Short-term pain management suggestion:

Step 1. Take painkillers fast, preferably one that is also a muscle relaxant. I take six 200mg Ibprofen because my experience says anything less is useless, more than six is dangerous. Know your own best painkiller.

Step 2. Take Gas-X or Tums, use whatever you have to reduce abdominal gas. Whatever is happening tends to produce gas which increases pain. Encourage yourself to burp as much as possible to relieve a little pressure.

Step 3. Climb into a tub and lay down (curled up, knees up, or flat, whatever hurts least). Turn on the shower to the hottest you can handle and position the worst pain under the strongest downpour. The pounding hot spray encourages your muscles to relax enough for the painkillers to kick in. Time under the spray varies, I was there for 2 hours last night before I could walk again (probably because I accidentaly took Tylenol instead of Ibprofen). Part of being able to relax is knowing if you bleed, pee, or vomit it doesn't matter, it all goes down the drain.

Step 4. When the pain subsides enough to walk... dry off, climb in bed and curl up with a heating pad (a hot water bottle will work as long as you have someone to reheat it for you). Try to sleep. Experience says if you can fall asleep the muscles will finish relaxing and you will be fine when you wake up.

Hope this helps at least one other person.

Don't dismiss that pain.. Go to your gynecologist and get an extensive check up. I experienced that severe pain after intercourse and to be precise I had abnormal cells that if not removed they were going to turn into a cancer.. Nor saying it's everyone else's case but be aware.
