Question : Hi, I was aroused today and began having terrible cramps, like menstrual cramps. I've been aroused a few different times today, and they all cause the cramps. Then they subside when things are back to normal. I haven't had sex, aside from oral once in December, so I'm not pregnant. What could be the cause?

Brief Answer:
Normal to have cramps.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
It is normal to have cramps when you are aroused as arousal is associated with uterine contractions. These contractions usually subside in few minutes. This is a normal finding and is not suggestive of any pathology. No need to worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
