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.

Ok, so I have been sitting up to sleep during my danger zone nights to avoid the sleep orgasms followed by pain. (Danger zone=About 14 days up until my period starts).Been sleeping sitting up for a few months now. I haven't had an orgasm sitting up in my recliner until last night......I woke at 5 am to a vivid *stange* dream of me humping a corner of a table(What the heck?!!!) and immediately had an orgasm. I woke up and thought oh no, here we go. Usually the cramps start building right away....but last night I barely cramped AT ALL!! I even went in the shower & sat down waiting for the brutal pain to start, and it never did!! I felt just a slight cramping, but no big deal at all. It didn't even trigger my bowels either like it normally does. I did start sweating a bit but nothing like times in the past where I sweat so bad. I couldn't believe the pain didn't happen like it usually does. It was 95% easier than any other sleep orgasm I had in the past. So, I don't know why sitting up works, but it works for me and I will continue to do it when I am in the danger zone time of the month.  (PS...I would never hump a table corner in real life, so weird I dreampt that.)

Unfortunately, I experience this too. And it's driving me crazy... it's SO stressful and I cant imagine having to go through this my whole life. I did colonoscopy and MRI for pelvic floor and found nothing.

15. Describe the pain. 
It feels like menstrual cramps (but a tiny bit different). On bad days I start to sweat..

I tried ganaton for ibs-c but it didn't help... the MRI didn't show endometriosis bht I heard you can only tell for sure via laparoscopy. PLEASE HELP, ILL TAKE ANY MEDS TO STOP THIS PAIN

I think this is most likely hormone related. Mine began in my 40`s (begiinning of perimenopause) and lasted until I started Hormone Replacement Therapy at 50, after just 2 weeks of treatment the pain is gone. I guess some of us are more sensitive to hormonal imbalances and the uterus is our "target organ".

Endometriosis...it subsides majorly during and after pregnancy...but is incureable so can always cone back

$1million says its endo....only way to know for sure is for an endo soecialist to look inside your pelvis, abdomen, etc. cant be ruled out non-visually.
