Odd cramping after orgasm and bowel movements

[kyliecat]

This is quite odd but I experience an uncomfortable cramping in my lower abdomen after I have an orgasm or after a particularly intense bowel movement. It's somewhat painful but definitely more on the uncomfortable side. Occasionally I will also feel the cramping when I get sexually excited. It doesn't last for too long, a few minutes at most but I was curious if anyone else had experienced something like this.

Thank you for your feedback.

Hi, I’ve also been experiencing this for about five years now and research it every time. I don’t know how I just found this thread, but glad I did! I started taking daily vitamin D supplements and have noticed improvement. I can tell when I haven’t been taking them daily that my body reverts back to its normal, painful routine.

I hope I am intelligible as english is not my first language.

I had this kind of pain for 5-6 years now. I am 28. Like many of you, I did a complete gynecologist check up and my doctors found nothing. Somehow, today, I have found your community for the first time and I am really happy about all the information there is here!

I wanted to share this site with you, which I also have found tonight after a very painful orgasm:

I have found a method that reduces getting this pain from every 2-3 days to once a week which is a massive improvement for me. I used to drink 1 litre of water /day but ever since i have drank 3 litres of water a day (or 1 litre for each 20kg you weigh so i weigh 60kgs therefore i need to drink 3 litres per day)  my pain has reduced! try it and please post on here if your pain has continued, reduced or stopped

Hello all.  I am back in the middle of my pain cycle again.. it always feels like it comes too soon.  At this point in the game I am looking at the finish line thinking "5-7 more days til my period! Wahoo!"  In my wildest dreams (aside from a possible pregnancy scare), I never saw myself as eagerly excited for my period to come!  

I am curious if any others also have the week of on and off constant cramping (less harsh than the triggered spasms before the week of horrible triggered spasms or if that is a symptom unique to me.  It is a later development.. I didn't always have it.

I am also curious to hear from other women who have dealt with this long term like I have (over 20 years) and to hear more about how this has evolved for you.  My experience and symptoms have definitely changed over the course of years and even decades.

I don't know if this post is still active but the answers in this are the best description to symptoms I've had since I was around 24 years old (I'm 30).
My periods have been always regular, it started as a mild pain in my lower belly that I attributed to stress. After a while it escalated to pain everytime I had an orgasm, it lasts around 10 min and goes from mild to unbearable and then mild again. Also I had pain after pooping, or even running, jumping, or holding my pee. Then  we noticed that pattern, the pain only started around two weeks before my period, once I started bleeding all pain went away.
I started hoping that my period came so the pain would stop

After many doctors, contraceptive pills, pain killers that never really worked, & wrong diagnosis, a year ago a ginecologist found a small cyst in my left ovary product of endometriosis that developed slowly, it was never seen because it pushed my ovary to the back of my uterus and doctors never noticed. She then found a lot of endometriosis remains that might be the reason of the monthly pain. My periods are starting to become irregular now but I thing this gives a lot more clarity to my symptoms.

I hope this helps someone who is looking for an answer as well. Unfortunately for us there's very little research on hormonal issues and women's bodies. :(  Leading to this kind of uncertainty. I have hope this is the final diagnose and with the right tratment I'm well again and live a pain free life for a longer time

There are doctors that specialize in identifing and remove endometriosis via laparoscopy, if you aren't being offered that option you might ask your gyn to give you a referral.

So...I gave up searching for answers years ago...but I started researching again, and apparently they have had a lot of information break-throughs on Adenomyosis since I last researched it - check it out and see what you think! I have almost every symptom - including adema and lower back pain, and of course the pain, vitamin deficiencies, and anemia. Going to have to check with a new doctor about this!
