A member asked:

During sex sometimes i get a momentary sharp stabbing pain like something is being hit inside of me. re-entering solves the problem. is this normal?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Painful: The ovaries are positioned close to the end of the vaginal canal and can be "bumped" with intercourse. Repositioning may help. Hitting an ovary is close to a man getting hit in the testicle, they are both sensitive to being hit.

Dr Sparacino and another doctor agreed

Yes: Sometimes the inner contractions from sex will cause those issues.
