What Causes Painful Intercourse And A Pulsating Feeling In Stomach?

Whenever my husband and I have sex it sometimes hurts, it feels like he s hitting something. I ve been to the dr and they ve told me it was nothing and sent me on my way. We had sex today and there was this horrible pulsating in my stomach. Like you could see it. I ve googled and I ve heard it s because there is air in there but I m really scared.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

There are many reasons why a woman may bleed after sex. The medical name for this is "postcoital bleeding".

Most common are an infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), or a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as chlamydia then vaginal dryness (atrophic vaginitis) caused by reduced vaginal secretions after the menopause, damage to the vagina, such as tears caused by childbirth, or by dryness or friction during sex or cervical or endometrial polyps (benign or non-cancerous growths in the womb or the lining of the cervix).

If the problem is caused by vaginal dryness, they may recommend that you try using lubricating gels. For other treatments, it would be necessary to see a gynecologist and establish the right cause first.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
