Thread: New here, Pain after orgasm

Went to gyno and had pelvic exam. Doc thought it was ectopic pregnancy but the blood test came back negative. A transvaginal ultrasound revealed no cyst or tumor. My gyno suggested I give my body a break from the birth control. I may do this for 7 days but I don't think I need a break from the pills. My gyno is old-fashioned and really doesn't have any other working hypothesis. I guess I'm on my own to figure it out.

I too, have had this issues. This came rather sudden about a year ago. It has just gotten more frequent up 'til now. My husband rushed me to the ER last December for abdominal pain, and while I was there, I mentioned that I had pain after sex (painful orgasm). They wanted me to get a follow up from my Primary as well as my OB. They discharged me with IBS. This was on a Thursday, oh and they gave me Oxicodone, which I did not take as directed. I only took about 2 of them from that Thursday to Monday. My follow up with my OB was scheduled for that Monday. My regular Dr was unavailable, so I saw a new one. A friend of mine has seen this Dr before, and had good things to say about her. At the end of the examination, after I got dressed, she came in, and said that I was making it all up for the attention and the narcotics. I never felt so horrible in my life. And when I saw the nurse for my hospital results, she says: 'Not that you want to hear this, but everything is negative.' Now, I also need to mention that I broke my tailbone last year from falling down the stairs. this was my 3rd time in 1 year. But, if you asked everyone who knows me, I am a very clutsy person. I always have been-since I was little. And never liked taking meds.
Anyway, two days later, I saw my primary Dr. He tried to make me feel better about the Ob's response. He diagnosed my original problem with a twisted bowel. I put myself on a fiber diet, and after a few months, my pain finally calmed down. But, by May, I was still having a painful orgasm. I was very hesitant on making another appt with any Dr. I finally did, and can't get in until november 30th. Go figure!
In the mean time, I am still researching this pain that I am having during my orgasms. I am afraid to have sex with my husband. (But, I don't leave him hangin') I found this site where it states exactly what everyone seems to be going through. http://wwwdoctor.co.uk/sex-and-relat...ul-orgasms.htm
It's called dysorgasmia, and not much is known about it. But, this site does make more sense than the other sites. Although, I tested negative for cysts (and have history of them) and endometreosis. I am also too young for Menopause (31), aren't I? I hope that this helps a little...

I am new here also and have been experiencing post orgasm pain, no matter how the orgasm happens it still is painful, a cramping on my left side radiating to my back and buttocks muscles..I am 67 years old and have been experiencing this for about 4 yrs, it came on suddenly for no reason and I have seen my doctor and they did ultrasounds and suggested exploratory surgery, but I have been reluctant to do this, they found nothing wrong. In my history, when I was younger, I had my tubes cut for birth control and the suggestion is that scar tissue is the culprit, and scar tissue can continue to spread over the years as told by my doctor, so unless I have surgery which would cause more scar tissue, my doctor says if I can live with it, so be it! The cramps last about 20 minutes and warmth seems to help. I am less depressed as I read these posts from those of you with this problem. Maybe someone will be able to discover an answer, it seems to be all age groups..thanks ladies for the info.

Hi I'm new to the site and also have this pain. I'm 35 now but have cranky pain and a dull ache of my lower abdomen and ovaries after I orgasm. Self induced. I have had endometriosis and painful periods for years. After reading all of these posts I feel less stupid about thinking everyone had this. It wasn't til recently that I mentioned to a friend the pain and found out it wasn't normal. Having this disease symptomatic a long time a consistent sex life if 1 at all has been difficult. I also have ademyosis which explains my pain too. After my last surgery on my ovaries that orgasm pain went away for a while but now it's back....during ovulation and rt before my period. I think all the time I'm just deprived.
I started dating someone and am aroused more and am now experiencing the pain for days after like I have been reading. I am seeing a new doctor and the explanation is... Contraction / orgasm=pain because of disease. but the depression and stress these issues put on us is real and I'm grateful for all of these posts. It's a lonely problem. I was also diagnosed w a gluten intolerance but it didn't improve this issue. I will try the pelvic exercises. I've read that helps the endo pain also. Thanks for sharing and best of lick! I wish us all pain free incredible orgasmic sex lives we deserve it

I am in my mid 40s and have been having cramps for days after orgasms for several years now. I don't know what it is, but it is not serious enough to have exploratory surgery! I have a grandma that died from exploratory surgery. It is good to know that it happends to a lot of females. All I have read is that doctors have no idea what causes it or how to stop it. Anyone seen a doc that knows what it is and how to cure it?

Ok, i've been reading most of these posts and still wondering what wrong with me. Heres what happens: my uterus aches normally, but not bad. When my bf and i have intercourse and i'm on top it goes fine for a while, depending on how long, if i orgasm I feel a slight ache after we're done, but then it gets bad to the point where i throw up and do that for like 5 mins, the pain lasts about 15mins. I've been ichy and sore on the outside, near the clitoris area. i went to the gyno a couple of weeks ago and i tested negative for yeast infection. what is wrong with me? my uterus should not hurt that bad, makes me scared to have sex, my bf thinks he's hurting me. I started having this over a year ago, i rarely get a time where i don;t have the pain-there were some times, but sadly not many. please any advice? trust me i plan on calling the gyno but i figure i can give some suggestions.

i am 18 and this has been going on for the past 2 and half years - it started the odd cramping after orgasm every now and again then it became every day - i would get 1 pain free week out of a month.

in november 2009 i went on the contraceptive injection (depo provera) along with taking the contraceptive pill (cilest) - i am still on both of these due to very heavy and irregular periods - this has stopped them completely, i take 1 pill everyday and have my injection every 2 and half months (as if i leave it 3months like u are supose to i come on for weeks!)

i decided to go to my doctor - i had scans outside my stomach (ultrasound) and a camera up inside of me - all they found was i have polycystic ovaries and a tilted uterus. the pain continued to get worse - by this time (jan 2011) as soon as i had an orgasm i was straight to the toilet crying,sweating,heaving and getting chills.

in july 2011 i had a laparoscpy (camera inside me) expected them to find endometriosis.. NOTHING. everything was perfectly normal and healthy looking.

in september 2011 this pain was more than severe - its what i imagine birth contractions are like seeing women on tv giving birth- my reactions are exactly the same after!

i got given NORTRIPTYLINE and got told to take 1 every night and 2 if it was that bad for 3 weeks.. 2 tables a day and 5 weeks later - NOTHING!!!!

words cannot explain how much pain i am in afterwards and am desperate for an answer and will not give up until i get one.

i have been given even stronger tablets to start taking tomorrow and been given an appointment to see a pain specialist.

if anyone has an answer PLEASE message me.

i will be back and post an update after i have seen the specialist.

also for a few months (june2011-sept 2011) i got this urge to push! (am not pregnant either!) it now gets to the point where i am physically sick afterwards to.
