Pain During Sex (Page 1)

Or it could be having to do with your female parts. My friend has to have a hysterectomy - her uterus and cervix have dropped so far that it's pains her to have sex. Have you seen a doctor and had an internal exam?

No but I am setting up an appt soon to get everything looked over. Thank you for responding to my question.

Sounds like a tilted cervix.

I'm sorry... I know your diagnosis is a private matter, but i'm having a similar problem so I was hoping you might share what you found out from your doctor. I'd just like an idea of what's going on. Thanks!

Sometimes pains like this can be caused by your bf's penis hitting your cervix, which can indeed be very painful. I have had this kind of pain before during sex in certain positions. My cervix and uterus are what they call retroflexed, meaning they tilt towards my back.

My sister has the same thing. The gyno told her that for more comfortable sex she could try propping a pillow under her butt during sex. I guess this helps to control how the penis enters and moves in and out of the vagina.

Either way, just to be safe, still see your doc to make sure you don't have any cysts, or other problems. Keep us posted.

It may be endometriosis pain during sex is one of the symptoms I had the same thing my partner and I have been together for 18 months and it was never a problem but about 7 months ago it got really bad the thought of sex hurts! And I didnt think anything of it untill I realised I wasnt getting pregnant so I got it checked out and well ive got it at first it was only painfull sex and periods now its everything. Just speak to your doctor,
good luck and take care

I have had this before also....You know when you go to the gyno and she checks your cervix to see if it is ok, then you get a really strange feeling in your stomach...It's the same with sex. When having intercourse you may get "bumped" the wrong way. It may be that your husband is hitting your cervix. Ask the doc about this to make sure and tell them all the symptoms.

I had the same type of pain. It felt like his penis was hitting my stomach and I thought I was going to vomit. It was from him hitting my cervix!!

Hi,

i didn't read all the replies before responding, so i'm sorry if I repeat what someone else said (although it could reassure you to find out how you're so not alone with this issue).

I get that abdominal pain as well, especially when in doggy-style position. I had the pain with my ex, but not with other partners. I once read what a sexologist said about this, that in some positions the vagina becomes sort of shorter and you are more prone to feel pain. If it happens only while penetration at ''in'' and the pain goes away completely a couple of minutes after intercourse is over, personnally i'd say it's normal, there's nothing wrong with you.

From my experience, yes it depends on partner's genital size and shape, and can hurt in some position with one but in another position with another. Also, with my ex sometimes I was afraid to do doggy-style because afraid of the pain, but i'd do it anyway and sometimes it would actually not hurt, I don't know exactly why, but I was very greatful and appreciative when it went well!

Unless an expert tells you otherwise, I suppose the only option is to have your partner not go too deep inside you when you are in a position that causes you the abdo pain...

Good luck, please let me know if you find out other explanations/tips from good source!

Your gyno can tell you if you have a tipped uterus. I have one and so do about 1 in 5 women, some positions may hurt and the time of your cycle will probably have some effect also

Hi i'm a 23 year old female.I have realized since i've been married (1 year) i've been experiencing some pain during sex almost near the time of my period. Certain sex positions feel very uncomfortable to me. I can feel it the worst when i'm on top or when he his on top with my legs up. Futher a few days to a week before my period everything is fine again.
Can someone please shower some light on this situation, i'm really starting to get concerned.

I get pain during intercourse if I have a uti. It can be extremely painful.

The pain you feel could be any of or acombination of all these responses. Your best bet is to get a pelvic exam and ask lots of questions.
Dont automatically assume your doc will tell you if you have a tipped uterus, he/she may assume you already know.

I feel the same pain in doggy-style. Like anorexia. I was so afaid sumthing might have been wrong but I think its just him hitting my cervix. He is well endowed. :d I though it might b from early uterus swelling from pregnancy. I may b preg. I dunno.

my gf complains of pain, especially during doggy style... I thought perhaps it was because, up untill recently, she was a virgin... and of course, there was some discomfort at first with most positions...

Now she loves missionary, and cowgirl... is it possible the discomfort during doggy will subside with time?|

I know in other positions, she experiances some pain if I go too deep, but its not a constant thing.. only a breif moment... but doggy, she pritty much wont do becuase of the discomfort.

...shes 22, and I don't think shes ever been for a gyno, I guess it could be a medical issue...

but assuming its not some adverse medical thing... are there any women out there who used to experiance pain or discomfort in this position, who have since begun to enoy it?... was there anything in particular you, or your partner did to help this progression from pain to pleasure?... or is it just a 'keep at it till it don't hurt' kinda thing... or, on the other end of the spectrum, is it something that just stays if you have it?...

I'd like to hear more about this please... other than "I like it" / "I don't"...

anyone?

You should respect your girlfriend and not forse her to do positions that only you enjoy.
Make sure she is completely relaxed and ready for entering. This may help with the pain.
If she is getting pain in other positions though she should get herselt checked out. This is something she will need to do anyway as she is sexually active. Her cervix or uterus could be tilted which could be causing the pain.

i also have problems with doggy style and on top sometimes it hurts other times it dont anyone finds out somethin let me know

I used to have pain during intercourse, and then it stopped for a long time, and now it is back, so I went on google and found the above link, it helped me figure out some different possibilities as well as different areas of pain. I know I have an apt. with my Dr. and I am going to make sure I ask all the questions I need to and get her to check everything.

Best of Luck!

I have had pain during doggy style,sometimes i feel pleasure but most the time we have to stop cause it hurts so bad.But i have also delt with serious pain in my left lower side of my stomach,like around my left ovary.it puts my in the ER because i will have "episodes" where im screaming an crying,and can't move or it feels worse, ive been in the ER 16 times and admitted twice,Im only 15 and it has taken over my life.this has been going on for 10 months so i don't know if that could be related, i have had several failed diagnosis, and would like to know if anyone finds out about the pain during sex, ive told serveral doctors, and so far havent helped me with that issue, if i find anything out ill be sure to post.
But something that one of the doctors did do , was do a pelvic exam and my cervix was swollen and so they said i had pelvic inflamitory disease(pid) the treated me, but the test came negative. ask a gyno to see if you have PID maybe that could help?
my test came out negative so it still hurts but they said if you have PID itll cause pain during sex.
