Cramps After Sex

I have been cramping after sex-every time. I can't say exactly when it began, but its been happening for at least 2 mos. It feels the same as the cramps I had after sex when I was pregnant. I'm not pregnant (regular periods, on the pill, no symptoms.) Any one else had this or any advice would be helpful! Thank you!

What can I do next?

I have cramps after also. More when I've just come off a week from my period. I'm on the pill and everything..
My OB never responds to my concerns.. We've tried different pills...Still no comfort

You could have a urinary tract infection sometimes that causes that kind of cramping. Or it is possible that you could have some kind of virus, I just got over a bad virus that had inflamed my stomache and cause severe cramping after sex. I have also had to have a cyst in my uterous removed this year and it caused bad cramping-my suggestion-call your obgyn, better safe than sorry!

You need to see your OB/GYN. This is not normal, and you should find out for sure what is going on.

That used to happen to me a lot, then I found out I had cysts.

Talk to your doc ASAP. I had endometriosis and a tilted uterus. Of course, the tilted uterus doesn't go away, but I had surgery to remove the endometriosis and have had two more kids, so I feel a lot better.

I had painful sex for over a year before figuring it out. It got to the point where I was in pain BEFORE I had sex, because of the fear. It was like my body knew the pain was coming so my brain sped it up! It was TERRIBLE on my marriage, so don't wait!!

If you havent had a regular check-up in awhile, you probly should. Any sudden change in routine or sensation should at least be reported. I have the same problem, but its mostly due to "loose garters" - the ligaments holding my uterus in place got stretched while I was pregnant - a little cervical scarring, and basically being more petite than my man.

Hello C., Call & make an appt with your GYN and have him do a pelvic exam as ususal. Don't be alarmed, but I had the same problem "years" ago and I had fiber cysts in the wall of my vagina. It will get more painful if you don't check it out, if that's what it is. Good Luck & God Bless! C. C

I am dealing with the same problems right now. I went to my doctor and after blood tests and an ultasound, they determined I have endometriosis with cysts in my endometrium. They did a Cancer antigen test, and although it is within the normal range (0-35) it is on the high end of normal (34.8). Because of this, my doctor is sending me to a GYN and wants to have a biopsy of the cysts done. I am scheduled to go in on July first. I am scared, but I am hoping things will be OK. Anyway, I have no advice, except to say that it is not normal and to get it checked out. And know that you are not alone. If you want to write more or stay in touch, I could use a shoulder myself. Good luck to you and I hope it will not be anything seriously. D.

this could also mean you have s tilted uterous. I have that and have cramping also. As i have aged it seems to go away. My last pregnancy was 10 years ago I had this problem for about 4-5 years after. I seem to be fine now
