Can you tell me what could cause period type cramps after sex?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Prostaglandins...: There are several reasons this can happen. Semen contains prostaglandins that induce uterine contractions that are perceived as cramping. Also, as a women gets older and bears multiple children, the cervix hangs lower and lower in the vagina. The mechanical motion of intercourse moves the uterus farther and this can also cause cramping. Best wishes!
