Question: Sometimes it hurts when I have sex with my boyfriend. I get sharp pains in my stomach. How can I make sex less painful?
Answer: Ouch. Here are a few things that could be causing your aching belly:
1) If pain only happens at certain times of the month, it could be related to your ovulatory cycle. That’s because the ovaries can get sensitive when you ovulate.
2) Speaking of ovaries, pain can also be caused by ovarian cysts.
3) Then again, it could just be that your partner is hitting your cervix. That can be helped by changing positions.
4) A medical condition like endometriosis can also be the culprit. Endometriosis happens when uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus.
5) Another possibility is pelvic inflammatory disease. This is a condition that affects the reproductive organs. It can develop if infections like gonorrhea or chlamydia go untreated. Because gonorrhea and chlamydia often have no symptoms, a lot of people have no idea that they even have an infection in the first place.
Even if sex feels fine the next time you have it, it would be wise to get checked out. If the pain is related to something medical, that’s not something you want to ignore.

My stomach hurts me for two days the third day when we have sex after five minutes later it starts hurting no matter what position we try so we stop from doing it:/ i wonder why does that happen it naver happened me before .
i ALWAYS get sharp pains in my stomach, but they go away in about 5 minutes…

idk about this one ……..still a vergin
lol, i've had something like this happen a few times before.
it'll be all fine and dandy and then cramp. lol, just a random cramp and then it'll go away almost instantly (i think it's usually in my lower side or around my hips)
i think all of us girlies have had this happen to us before. just talk to your boyfriend and ask if he could take things a little slower and more gentle, sometimes slower is more of a turn on and you can relax more. try one or two new positions and see how that feels and it could be that he is not angled right in you and is hitting all the wrong spots.
This has happened to me as well, but I was diagnosed with fibroids. My gyno says that your partner can definitely hit the wrong spot and can cause pain with fibroids (non-cancerous cysts in the uterus).
hey it happens for me too, but im assuming its him, cuz he is a lot bigger than normal and im a small girl, and he is so big that even changing positions we can't get together and have him not hit the cervix…not with him being fully in, what else can be done about that?
