Hello,
Cramping is just one type of pain you may experience after sex. But if you’re experiencing it, you’re not alone. Your pelvic muscles contract during orgasm.
For some people, these contractions result in painful muscle spasms in the lower abdomen and pelvis.
Ovulating and menstruating women are more likely to experience cramping after sex.
Penetrative sex can push air into the vagina or anus. If the air becomes trapped, you may experience gas-related pain in your upper abdomen or chest.
Pregnant women often experience cramping after sex. That’s because orgasms can set off contractions in the womb, which lead to cramps.
Over-the-counter pain relievers such as Ibuprofen and acetaminophen can lessen cramping by relaxing the abdominal muscles.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
