How to prevent painful sex ? Posted: 12-11-07 11:55am
While having sex it hurt a ton going in,
but when he finally got in and when he
first came out I was fine. Afterwards,
when I tried to stand up I was in tons of
pain. I was shaking all over, and quickly
got into a warm bath to try and help with
the pain. I could hardly move my legs in
any position without being in pain. I got
out of the bath about a 1/2 hour later,
and was dizzy, shaking, and my ears felt
like they were full of something and I
could hardly hear my spouse talking, and I
still hurt a lot. I took an ibuprophen and
finally managed to fall asleep. Woke up a
about 2 1/2 hours later to feed our baby,
and was able to walk with minimal pain.
This morning the pain is gone. Is that
normal, and is there anything to do to not
be in so much pain next time?

"Current medical status: Had a baby at the
end of October. Was induced, but had the
baby naturally and fast. The doctor said I
tore the same amount as if he would have
done an epesiotomy, so I had stitches.
Recovered within two weeks from
everything, and have felt fine. I was
bleeding heavily for only two or three
days, and then it went brown until a few
days ago. The baby was about 5 weeks
old."
According to your description, you
experienced pain during sex and for the
next 2 ½ hours after the sex. You
described the duration and strength of the
pain but you told me nothing about more
precise localization of the pain. The
additional symptoms that you mentioned
(shaking, decreased hearing, dizziness)
can’t help tidentify the reason for that
pain, either. You can consult your
gynecologist for a detailed examination
because painful sex should be taken
seriously.
