Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
I assume you had sex before and this is the first time you felt severe pain. It is possible that you had violent sex and the vaginal fornices might have been injured. This is the commonest cause for sudden pain during and after sex. The other possibilities in your case include pelvic muscle spasm, pelvic inflammatory disease, sexually transmitted infection and vaginal infections. You may wait a day or two and if the pain gets worse and is persistent then please consult your doctor for clinical examination and treatment. Avoid sex for a week or ten days.
