Intense pain during/after sex
My boyfriend and I were having sex the another night and I began to experience pain/pressure. I've experienced this before and we stop. However, the other night after we stopped I was in excruciating pain - it was like a mix between really bad gas pain and really bad menstrual cramps. I also felt like I had the urge to have a BM at one point but was not able to go. At one point I was on the bathroom floor ready to pass out from the pain. The pain went away in less than an hour, but I from then until this morning I still had a "pressure" in my abdomen and was pretty bloated.
I went to the ER today although my symptoms had subsided. They took blood and did ultrasounds and all of my results came back fine. The doctor wrote it off as possibly being a "stomach bug" which I thought was kind of BS.
I of course had also looked some of this up online before I went and a lot of people seemed to be experiencing the exact same thing and they had ruptured ovarian cysts. This doctor did not think that was the case as he didn't see anything during my exam or in my results. A few other people online had also said they were told this pain was from air being built up in the intestines, especially during "doggie style" which is the position we were in at the time.
Whatever causes this doesn't seem to be diagnosed very often. I do plan on making an appointment with my regular gyno, but wanted to know if there was anyone that has experienced this and has been diagnosed with anything? Or if it really is possible for air to become trapped during sex and cause such extreme pain like that? Any information would be helpful right now because I'm nervous to even try having sex again and frustrated because the doctor I saw today wasn't able to give me any information.
