Odd cramping after orgasm and bowel movements
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 everyone,
My pain has miraculously stopped. I had it for about 2 years only. I lost 20 pounds (I am 5'2" and weighed 183, now weigh 165). I am not saying the weight loss has helped. I have no idea what was going on. I take continuous birth control with no periods and have for about the last 8 years or so. I am 39 years old and have never had children. No amount of searching for reasons yielded results. I had a transvaginal ultrasound with totally normal results. No cysts, no fibroids.
My theory is that I had connective tissue (adhesions) like what happens in endometriosis connecting my bowel and left ovary to some part of my uterus. When my uterus contracted it would pull on the other two organs. I mentioned this in a previous post but I tried a method I read about and dug deeply into my torso with my cupped hand trying to break up the adhesions. It was about a month later that I stopped having pain. There are doctors that perform this so I tried to do it myself. Don't know if that is what helped but it is worth a shot.
Anyway...the update is that when I discussed this with my gyno (he's very old and has tons of experience over many years with many patients) he told me it is not uncommon for this to start and stop on its own. In fact, he said that men get it too. Men get pain during orgasm and as long as the prostate is okay they just have to keep having sex and eventually it goes away on its own. So, it appears that pain during orgasm is a medical mystery that comes and goes and just is never discussed. How frustrating. My impression is that people are too embarrassed to talk about orgasms.

In response to your question, I drink just one glass of wine about an hour before having sex, which provides enough time for it to get absorbed. I believe that in doing so it keeps my blood vessels dilated and prevents the cramping. I still seem to have cramps after waking up from a dream so I know my condition is still there. I also take birth control pills continuously which seems to keep my cramps under control except for when I have sex/orgasm. Before I took birth control pills,my cramps would seem to get better right before and during my period, which makes me wonder if blood vessels are dilated during this time to enhance blood flow and allow a women to have her period. Hope this helps!
HI Addy,do you have the wine before sex/orgasm or after and how quickly after/how much?
I have been keeping a dairy for 8 weeks of when it is most and least painful. I find under 24 hours before my period begins, the pain is much less and quite doable. Once my period is finished, within the first week the pain is unbearable. Anyone else find this to be the case?

After suffering for over 10 years with severe cramping after orgasm, sex dreams and certain times of the month, I think I have finally figured out the cause. I think my pain is being caused from vasoconstriction of my blood vessels leading to very intense uterine cramping. I feel pretty confident that this is what is causing my pain. How I came to this conclusion is that I noticed that after I had a glass of wine before sex, I had no cramping whatsoever. I then tried it several more times, and each time I had no cramping. I believe that the wine is a vasodilator and kept my blood vessels from constricting therefore stopping the pain. This would explain why I had no cramping while I was pregnant (b/c there is better blood flow to the fetus) and also why cold weather and exercise can sometimes cause my cramps (because the blood vessels to the uterus may constrict during those times). I am wondering if instead of drinking wine, if a doctor prescribed medication that dilates the blood vessels, if this would prevent cramping also. I plan on discussing this with my physician at my next visit. I hope this insight may help some of you out there.
I just found this on another site:
Case Title: A deep vaginal cramp is a pre-warning sign of uterine titling or prolapsed due to a lack of prostaglandin E-1 in the nerves of the uterine-support ligaments and tissue; restoration of sexual orgasm without orgasmic pains or cramps
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suffer from deep vaginal cramps sometimes after orgasm, but this is usually in my sleep after a very erotic dream, the cramps last for about 20 minutes and come on almost straight away, Ive been reading pages on your site, and its good to know I'm not alone, how ever I would like to know what I can do to stop this problem occuring again, and also how to lessen the pain if the problem does occur again, it is very painful likened to birth pains, thanks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Lin: 2/06/2005>This is due to a weak uterine-support ligaments and tissue, as a result of lacking prostaglandin E-1 synthesis in the tissue.
Prostaglandin E-1 is the local hormone essential for the flexibility, elasticity and integrity of the local tissues, nerves and blood vessels. When the nerves in the uterine-support ligaments and tissue become inflexible and rigid, the uterine contraction or movement will cause deep pelvic pains around the low abdomen, pubis, tailbone, and anus, and perineum.
The uterine pains and cramps can happen during day or night as long as the uterus contracts or moves.
It happens pronouncedly during the Luteal Phase. It is very common for peri-mesopause or menopause women when their uterus is still too heavy for the weakening uterine-support ligaments to hold. It is a pre-warning sign of uterine tilting or prolapsed for young women, and a warning of uterine tilting or prolapsed for women over 35.
It is called PMS for young women, or peri-menopause symptoms or PMS for the pre-menopause women.
You need a low dose of ViaPal-hGH-M (3-014) to solve this problem.
For a long-term boost of the Prostaglandin E-1 synthesis, you can add Fish and Borage Oil(1000 mg each afrer a meal) and calcium (200 mg)/magnesium (100 mg)/Viatmin-D(100 IU) .
They will also improve your vaginal tightness and sensitivity, plus giving a shinier and tighter skin over your entire body.

I have had this issue for many years... too many years...
After talking with gyn's and at my yearly exam with the nurse practicioners to no avail I finally went and say a naturopath who specializes in gastro-intestinal problems. He sent me to get an ultrasound which revealed over 14 fibroids, some of them fairly large.
He said that fibroids are vascular which mean when the blood starts rushing, during sex for example, the fibroids go crazy. He believes that is the cause of my terrible cramping. I'm off to a specialist next to see if hysterectomy is the way to go.
