Is it normal to feel pain after orgasms?

[Anonymous]

I squeeze my pelvic muscles very tightly to achieve an orgasm.. Afterwards my lower stomach hurts (stingy type of pain) and I have a headache. Same thing happens when doing Kegel exercises.

Is this normal or sign of some dysfunction? Anyone else relate?

No, recurring pain that interferes with your enjoyment is not considered normal.

While occasional mild cramping after an orgasm can occur due to involuntary muscle contractions, experiencing recurring pain and headaches especially when triggered by intentional muscle squeezing or Kegels is typically a sign of an underlying issue.

If Kegel exercises trigger the same pain, it strongly suggests your muscles may already be too tight hypertonic; adding more squeeze can worsen the tension and lead to stinging or cramping.

Good luck.

This isn't a question you should ask GaG members. You need to talk to a health professional to get the answers you want.

That being said, a quick Google search gave these results:

While occasional mild cramping after orgasm can occur due to intense muscle contractions, persistent or severe stomach pain is not considered "normal" and may indicate underlying gynecological, muscular, or digestive issues. Known as dysorgasmia, this pain can stem from factors like infections, endometriosis, or ovarian cysts.

Thank you. Mainly asked to know if it was normal and if I need to seek health professional. Apparently I should.

My guess would be that you might have endometriosis. I know a few girls with it

Yup. Happens to me , my boyfriend gives me an abdomen ache. And i get so high my head aches , I feel nauseous and puke. Sometimes i start my period due to the spasms

No, that isn’t normal. I might feel sore but never a stinging pain. Maybe you are using your core muscles too often?

[Asker]

I don't work out a lot and its been like this for as long as I can remember.

[Abbycado]

That might be it. Over exertion of your core muscles.

It is common to feel sore, but you should not be in any serious pain.

[Asker]

It's not soreness, but kinda similar to the type of pain you get when constipated. It's very strange. I wouldn't call it serious pain cause I can live with it.

Sorry you are experiencing this. I do not but I'm a guy. Does the pain happen after sex or from masturbation or both?

[Likes2drive]

it happens with muscles that you don’t use often and you’re over exerting them probably but you also could be dehydrated

I don't think so. You're just sore from a good bangin.

Doesn't happen to me
