Worried about sex life - have pain in my lower abdominal region

If it is burning or painful, you might have a yeast infection. You should go to your doctor about that.

However, you mention you feel really dry. Having sex while dry can cause a lot of pain. The friction will burn. If he is going too deep and hitting your cervix, he may be bruising it. That could be the cause for the extreme pain.

Try having a lot of foreplay so you can get wet. Also, try using a lube. It may help out a lot!

If you think the pain is from something other than not being wet however, definitely go see a doctor.

It's not a burning pain. It an abdominal cramping pain!
Thanks you guys I'll check into it. I guess the best way to find out if there's something wrong is to go see a Dr.

Excuse me but I wrote this forum in hopes to gain advice about something that was bothering my body! If you guys have questions about how to use the site write it in ur own forum. Don't just read my problem because ur nosy and use my forum to post your own questions that have no relevance!

She wasn't sure where to post her problem/question and how to contact the moderators. She wasn't trying to disrespect you. We are still all here to help and give the best advice we can.

Has the pain stopped? Have you gone to a doctor?

We haven't had sex yet so I'm not sure. I did make a Dr. appointment for Thursday so when I see my doc I will flood him with questions! Thanx for checkin on me. I'm still anxious to find out what's going on!

If your gyno doesn't help you, you might want to check into the help of a sex therapist- they have more specific knowledge for actual sex.

I get this too but its usually like the day after sex or at least like 5 hours after... I am going to get mine checked out this week. From googling I am thinking it could be PID (Pelvic inflamatory disorder) or Endometriosis? I hope not tho I will let u know if i find anything out

Thank you guys so much. I'm not able to see my doctor right now because of insurance issues! Does anyone know about Pelvic Inflammatory Disease? That really scares me!

The exact same thing happened to me--excrutiating abdominal pain immediately after intercourse. So bad I went to the er. It was a tubal infection from my IUD. My OB/GYN was there and removed the IUD (so painful) and admitted me for a few days. My first son was 1 yr then. It recurred a couple of times, less severely. I could always tell when it was coming back--I'd get a sharp pain in my abdomen coming up through my rectum when I'd sit down, then a burning pain would linger.

After a few months of that, they did a laporoscopic exam and found scaring. It left scaring in the tubes too; it took 2 yrs to get pregnant with the second of my 2 sons (no daughters). With the first one I got pregnant as soon as I stopped taking birth control pills.

The first son, btw, is about to present me with a third grandchild next month, a girl, after 2 grandsons (whom I adore). I'm so giddy, I was in Macy's yesterday, and after years of looking longingly at all the adorable stuff for little girls, I threw myself into it whole hog. I couldn't stop smiling.

I think that kind of pain can also be from a uti or possibly an ovarian cyst. And insurance-problems-wise, is there maybe a clinic you can go to? At any rate, I hope it either goes away or you can do something about soon. Good luck.

Congrats on ur grand baby! It sounds like you went through a lot! There is a clinic called Franklin C. Fetter clinics in the city where I live, unfortunately SC doesn't have a state wide health plan! But I will check them out asap! The pain never came back, but our sex just isn't the same. My vagina isn't as moist and when he penetrates it feels like he's hitting something. I asked him what it feels like and he describes it as "heaven". I'm still not too sure. I do feel a little pain during intercourse and sex isn't as comfortable as it used to be. We've been together for 9 months and have a lot of sex so I pay attention to everything. I find myself feeling anxious before sex and I can't totally relax from fear of that pain coming back. What do you guys think?
