Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
Lower abdominal pain after intercourse may be caused by excessive stimulation or spasms. To address this issue, the following measures can be taken:
1. Rest and observation: Stop sexual activity and rest appropriately, observing whether the pain subsides. If the pain gradually diminishes, it may just be a temporary stimulation response.
2. Heat application: Use heat therapy tools such as a hot water bag or warm compress pack, gently applying heat to the painful area of the lower abdomen to help relieve pain and muscle tension.
3. Dietary adjustment: Maintain a balanced diet, avoiding oily, spicy, and other irritating foods. Increase intake of fiber-rich foods to support intestinal health.
If the pain persists or worsens after implementing the above measures, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation to rule out the possibility of other underlying conditions.
