What Causes Upper Abdominal Pain After Intercourse Post C Section?
Hello. I have a somewhat embarassing question. I had a c section 2 months ago. Healed nicely. My husband and I had sex this afternoon, pretty rough. Didn t hurt during. Now I m having upper abdominal pain. Feels like a constant tight cramp. Is this anything dangerous?

Hello,
Cannot say in your particular case but can give some general information. The c sections would be healed by 6 weeks. The entire area is pretty altered by childbirth especially the first birth.
It takes time for things to re adjust and discomfort is pretty common. Getting into things a bit gradually is the general rule and it gets better in a few weeks.
More often and less duration and less vigour and building up gradually.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
