A member asked:

Is pain a day after sexual intercourse bad. i feel like i'm having period cramps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's not: Unusual, semen makes the uterus cramp. On the other hand you may have exacerbated a condition such as a uti. It should start improving soon but if persistent go in. Gd luck.
