What Causes Pain In Ribs And Abdomen After Having Sex?

Hi, this has happened to me twice now over a duration of a couple of months, me and my partner having sex and then I get a severe pain in my ribs and abdomen, I then can do nothing but lay and be in pain and its extremely painful when I breathe out.. Last night it also caused nausea. This may be completely irrelevant but last month unfortunately I went through an abortion and I m just wondering if this could be related to the pain and if not what else may be causing it?

Hi.
After carefully reading the history you have provided , your problem looks to be severe costo-chondritis of the lower ribs. The abdominal muscles start from this area so the edema and resultant pain travels to the abdominal area too. The exertion during the sex can instigate the edema and the pain.
be specifically see for the painful- tender area. This will confirm the diagnosis.
I would suggest the following treatment.
-Rest to the area by means of strapping with the Adhesive tapes during the deep Expiration phase. This will limit the movement, reduce the pain and give rest for healing to occur.
-Anti-inflammatory medicines in full dose as per the weight.
-Steroids if required for its strong anti-inflammatory role.
-Lasix to reduced the edema.
This sort of a treatment helps all my patients. and should help you too.
