This is the first time that anything like this has happened to me so I'm looking for more information about this issue.

Last night my bf and I had sex and it was pretty rough. It was missionary position. Right after we were done I had this sharp aching pain in my lower abs. I woke up this morning and the pain was still there. I have a IUD and thought that he could have hit it during sex. Could it also be that he was hitting my cervix. Well for anyone who knows more about this please let me know. What should I do about the pain for the mean time?

This is so weird for me to talk about, but I will. I have never had an IUD, but I have had my insides hurt after the fact. Not only has my stomach hurt, but my hips too. I would just take some pain pill and see if it goes away in a day or to.

It is possible that your cervix got bumped. Depending on what kind of IUD you have you might want to get checked out if the pain is still there in a couple of days.

Here is what the first paragraph on wiki answers has to say:

Lower Abdominal Pain After Intercourse

Absolutely especially if he is large and/or its rough sex. If the pain lasts for more than a day or two I would tallk to my doctor. More than likely it is the uterus being hit during sexual activity causing it to become sore. Maybe you should ask your partner to take it slow and not to thrust so hard and deep. That may help relieve the pain, but this is normal as long as it does not last for long periods of time (over 5 or 6 days).

he couldnt have hit or jarred the IUD. those things are well "planted" in place so that sex doesnt move, jar or cause damage to them and they cant cause you damage. I have one its placed inside the uterus just like a baby is cushoned by the uterus and uterus lining so is the IUD. It also probably wouldnt be pain from the cervix. the cervix has no nerves in it. I found this out when I needed a cervical biopsy and the doctor wasnt going to use anything or even put me out for it. when obgyn's take pap smears and biopsies of the cervix they dont need to use any anestesia or topical numbing because there are no nerves past the first third of the vigina. wondered why I couldnt feel certain things above a certain place. when my partner and I were getting busy. thought I was just spacing off there for a minute LOL.

he might have caused you to have a very strong orgasm causing the uterus muscles to contract harder than they normally do when you orgasm or muscle strain in your abdomen from the rough sex.

he could have depending on the shape and direction that your uterus tilts hit your ovaries. had that done before and it hurts for days later.

it could also be cysts, polys. no matter what it is I would suggest going to your doctor for a check up just to make sure its muscles not something serious like cysts.

Hitting of the cervix during sex is possible and discomfort can be felt - some times this is just how your body is made (or has become over time) and at other times it can be the sign of a medical problem... if the pain and discomfort continue please see your doctor for a checkup and pap smear - I did and it was as simple as having a few harmless cyst on the neck of my cervix that were bursting during intercourse.

Okay, here's a slightly off topic, but still somewhat related question to this post... If you can't feel anything past a certain point, then why does it hurt to put in tampons? I always thought I was hitting my cervix with it, but from what AmandaLouise said, this shouldn't be an issue... I've been using them for a few months, and I'm pretty sure that every time I put one in, I feel like I hit a certain point and its a sharp ache feeling... So.. whats up with that?

It could be that the tampon is to big for you (try a smaller size), and we have to remember that the female body is not a one size fits all, therefore, we are all made slightly different than the next and what may be straight in one female's inner body may be curved in another, but still normal.

If you are having pain during the insertion of a tampon and during sex please see your GYN for a check up as some medical issues can cause vaginal pain.
