Experiencing Pain In Belly After Sex. Connected To Miscarriage?

Posted on Sat, 15 Jun 2013

Question: When I have sex,I feel some pain under my belly,does it have anything to do with a miscarriage I had 3 years ago?

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Pain during sexual intercourse is called Dyspareunia.

A miscarriage 3 yrs back might not directly cause Dyspareunia.

However, it can give rise to Endometriosis (a painful condition of uterus).
This may be the cause for your pain.

Apart from this, an ovarian cyst can also give rise to pain during sexual intercourse.

I would advise you to get an Ultrasonography of abdomen and pelvis.

This will clear the picture, and will be helpful in diagnosing your condition.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.

Thank you.
