What Is The Abdominal Pain After Having Sex With A History Of Bowel Surgery?

I recently had a small bowel re-sectioning and removal of a Meckel's Diverticulum after having a blockage in my small intestine caused by twisting from the Diverticulum. My recovery had gone well over the past 2 months and I had finally got back to normal, until having intercourse, and now I am having abdominal pain deep in my belly. Is there a chance that having intercourse a few months after having this type of surgery could have damaged the site that was re-sectioned or caused another blockage?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Intercourse requires intense activity from your body. The rectus muscles in front of the abdomen need to work strongly which may raise the intra-abdominal pressure. I do not think that the reanastomosis i,e. the joined portion after sectioning, might have been damaged, neither do I think that there is another blockage. Rather, I would say that the healing of the portion is not complete and it would take quite some time to be as strong as the normal portion of intestine. The intense activity of the intercourse was till now undealt with for the reanastomosed site and the increased abdominal pressure has therefore caused the pain. It would still be worthwhile to get in touch with the surgeon who has operated on you and talk about this.
