What Causes Sharp Pain In The Buttock After Attaining Orgasms?
Question: I have a pain in my left buttock. It gets worse the more I walk. If I sit down for a short period of time I get relief, but it is only temporary. When I have an orgasm a get a quick sharp pain in my buttocks. It's like a nerve pain.
Brief Answer:
Pyriformis syndrom might be the cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns.
In my opinion it might be due to pyriformis syndrom in which your pyriformis muscle which is situated in the buttock will cause pain when get inflamed or during spasms like orgasm even cause spasm of muscles.
As you have already done the stretching exercises I will suggest some which effects your pyriformis muscle those are called pyriformis stretches.
-Lie on the back with both feet flat on the floor and both knees bent. Pull the right knee up to the chest, grasp the knee with the left hand and pull it towards the left shoulder and hold the stretch. Repeat for each side.
-Lie on the back with both feet flat on the floor and both knees bent. Rest the ankle of the right leg over the knee of the left leg. Pull the left thigh toward the chest and hold the stretch. Repeat for each side.
Each piriformis stretch should be held for 5 seconds to start, and gradually increased to hold for 30 seconds, and repeated three times each day.
If the pain still persists you can try heat therapy or ice massage on that area.
There are injections like corticosteriods given to that muscle to decrease spasm or pain if you have long lasting spasm or pain.
In your case stretching exercises which include pyriformis stretches are sufficient.
Hope this answers your query.
Get back if you have more.
