A member asked:

Is it normal for my uterus to hurt after sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes: Orgasm can cause the uterus to contract and therefore hurt mildly. If the pain is severe you should see your doctor to evaluate for other more serious problems that may cause pain. Some problems like endometriosis can cause pain, but can be successfully treated.
