I have pcos, is it normal to have lower abdominal after intercourse?

No: Pcos should not lead to abdominal pain after intercourse. If persists, see you doctor for an evaluation.

Yes: Many women with pcos experience that. The ovaries are inherently larger due to the many cysts present with pcos - that can make them more sensitive.
