Anyone else experience this?

AshleyGemini24

I'm sure someone will flame me or QFP this but here goes....
I've lurked and found little information. I know no one here is a Dr. I know that no two people's experiences are the same. My question is, do any of you ladies have sharp stabbing pains in your pelvic region after sex, not during but after? Ever since I came off the nexaplon in May, I've had these stabbing pains in my lower right pelvic region immediate following intercourse. Haven't brought it up the Dr yet because I haven't gotten a new OBGYN yet, due to insurance change. I've Googled and results show cysts, tilted uterus, endometriosis, low CP, and most extreme cancer. I refuse to let Google, WebMd, or the TB diagnose me. Just wanted to see if any of you ladies experience the same thing, or am I the only freak out there?

This is the key part. It's not flaming to point this out, but it is what it boils down to. If someone said yes, they've had sharp stabbing pain after sex, it would do absolutely nothing for your situation because what causes one person's pain could be similar or different from what causes another person's pain.

Physical conditions are different than emotional questions. For emotional things, I understand the desire to hear other people's experiences to not feel alone. But for physical things? It's not a question of feeling alone, it's trying to determine the cause of and solution to pain. No one else's experiences can tell you this. Dr. Google definitely can't tell you this. If you're concerned about pain, the best thing you can do is talk to your doctor.

Yes, I would check with your doctor at your first appointment. Pain like you're describing is common with ovarian cysts but we wouldn't really know... For example, if I get bad O pains one cycle, the same side will be sore for a few days after (sometimes up to a week) when I stand up, walk a bit or have sex. If you O'd recently and the pain is recent, that could be it, but it could be many things also...

I would get to your dr sooner than later if this continues

Any sort of unexplained sharp, stabbing pain is reason enough to call the doctor.

Thanks. As I said, wasn't trying to say our experiences were the same. Just trying to see if other women have the same problem.

I still don't understand the benefit of that. How do other people saying "yes I have pain after sex" affect whether or not you should talk to a doctor? You're concerned enough about your pain to ask random people. But if a few say "me too!" then are you no longer concerned? Because you still have no way of knowing if your pain is remotely similar to theirs. This is really no different from the newbs who come in asking if anyone else has had tingly nipples or an itchy uterus or whatever. The answer is always the same.

What about itchy nipples and a tingly uterus, though? Doesn't that make me speshul!?!

But seriously - I have to agree with this; if I were to come on and say that, yes, I have pains after intercourse, what would that have done? Would that have told you that someone else experiences this, so maybe it's normal, and you shouldn't worry about it?

As PP said: if you're worried enough that you're going to ask a bunch of people on the internet about it, then you should be contacting your PCP and setting up an appointment. Any sudden pains, especially reoccurring, are not normal and should not be ignored.

I'll say the same thing to you that we say to total newbs who post about their itchy nipples and clingy dogs -- my experience has no bearing on yours. You are a completely different entity.

TL;DR -- Go to your doctor if you're worried about it; not a forum full of randos.

Edited for punctuation. Apparently, I don't know how to use it today!

No, I've never had that. If you don't have an obgyn, consider calling your PCP (if you have one).

What's wrong with someone QFP? It's helpful...
