Think muscles: ?Pelvic floor hypertonicity disorder (pfhd). Some women have high tone in pelvis. Sexual activity causes the muscles to contract more thus more spasm. Unique nature of these muscles, this doesn't feel like muscle pain but can be uterine, bladder, vaginal or rectal discomfort, usually for 2-3 days after sex. Treatment pelvic floor pt & meds. Heavy lifting like emt is risk for this condition.
