weird pain after sex?

Unread post by avaiara »

hi!
so sometimes, after sex, i get pain where my ovaries are. they almost feel like period cramps, it really hurts when i get up and walk around, but if i’m sitting or laying it’s bearable. what could this be?

Hi avaiara,

We can't say for certain what's causing this pain, although sometimes pain in that area after sex is the result of vasocongestion (the increased blood circulation in the pelvis and genitals during arousal) not being relieved by orgasm. Do you tend to get these cramps after sex where you didn't orgasm? Or do they happen whether or not you orgasm?

Too, if you haven't had a sexual health check-up where you've discussed this issue you need to make an appointment to do. Having a check-up can help determine what's causing these pains.
