Pain And Cramping After Sex Posted: 01-30-05 17:03pm
During sex a couple days ago, I felt an
uncomfortable bump to the cervix. I
didn't think too much of it, as i've had
this happen before with my boyfriend.
Afterwards this time I started to develop
the worst cramps that lasted the whole
day. The next day the cramps were gone
but i'm still feeling sore and achy. I
thought at first it was just bruising, but
now i'm starting to worry if it might be
something like pid. However, i'm in a
mutually monogomous relationship and we
were both tested before having sex, so i'm
not sure how that could have
happened...Although i've read that rarely
pid can be caused by e coli or strep, 90%
of the time is chlamydia or gonorrhea.
Any ideas? Should I just trek over to the
planned parenthood to figure this out?

I can relate to you 100%. The exact same
thing happened to me over and over again
for about four years... It took doctors
all that time to figure out what was
wrong... And it was so simple. Now, I
don't know if this is the exact same
diagnosis as what you might have, but sex
would bring it on a lot of time and then
it was followed by the most excrutiating
cramping i've ever experienced, and for
days thereafter it left me sore and
aching.
It turned out to be little cysts on my
ovaries that were bursting. I would go
to see you gyn about it, you could have
polycystic ovaries, or just be more prone
than usual to ovarian cysts. Or you may
have something completely different. But
regardless, pain that lasts that long
needs to be investigated.
Good luck!

Fibroids? Posted: 02-01-05 03:51am
I went into planned parenthood today to
see what the problem might be. They
basically threw up their hands in
confusion. No bladder infection, no yeast
infection, healthy cervix, etc. She said
that my uterus seemed too big and that I
should see a gyno or gp for follow up so
they could do an ultrasound too see if I
had fibroids. I just searched for some
info on those and I think I was less
worried thinking it was an infection.
Sigh.
However, she also said that it might be
that my uterus was just irritable b/c i'm
pmsing now and that bumping it the wrong
way during sex just set off cascade of
cramping and pain that kind of fed on
itself. If that was the case she said it
would just go away. I'm hoping it's this
second explanation...It is the first time
i've had a problem like this.
I don't think it's a problem with my
ovaries. I had my tubes tied in september
and the doc said everything looked good.
She should have be able to see the
ovaries, right? I'm not really sure,
though. On the other hand, it seems like
she should have been able to tell if I had
fibroids in my uterus too. Crossing my
fingers.... :?
