I am going to be 40 in less then 3 months. I have always been a sexual woman, who has enjoyed orgasms. In the last year and a half I started experiencing pain during orgasm. As soon as I feel the orgasm coming on, it feels like me uterus is contracting, and I feel a dull pain, it causes me to not orgasm the same way. This has become frustrating to me and my husband of the last 15 yrs.
I have been to my gyn and I was treated for mild dsyplasia, but he told me that does not explain the pain, he doesn't seem to know what the problem is,,,, can anyone help with this? Thanks

Do you still have this pain? I am having it now and my DR doesn't know what it is, I told him what I read..what you wrote. He is doing a little research for me. I'm wondering if it ever passed for you?

I've read it could be ovarian cysts. I'm also in my early 20s with the same symptoms - a stabbing pain in the lower right abdomen. This occurs with or without orgasm (no intercourse). A doctor checked my appendix but otherwise had no clue.

For the last several years I've had extremely painful orgasims. I recently read about dysorgasmia and it describes my symptoms to a T. Excruciating pain in my lower abdomen immediately after orgasims sometimes last 5 minutes other times up to 12 hours, and it makes continuing sex nearly impossible. I'm on depo shot for birth control, which from what I've read can possibly contribute. The only difference is I'm in my mid 20's, and apparently dysorgasmia is more common for people from 35 to 55

I had depo-provera shots when I was in my 20's and three years ago, around age 40, I started having extreme pain on the lower left abdomin area. It was during the first portion of the orgasm which would prevent me from enjoying this act. It occurred every time. My periods were increasingly getting worse with heavy flow and pain. I finally has a hyteroscopy and fractional Dnc which helped a little. Finally I researched my issues and found my symptoms were related to endometriosis. A laproscopy confirmed this and portions of the area effected were burned off. This helped for about 4-5 months and issues are back again. The only cure is menopause or hysterectomy. It was nice while it lasted. Now my orgasm pain is back again.

I have endometriosis too and mine didn't start until after my hysterectomy. So don't rush into it, that does not resolve the problem... Unfortunately.

I am in the same boat. I'm 20. I've been on the depo shot for 4 years now I think. As of a year ago I started have pain during and after orgasm but it sometimes happens and sometimes doesnt. I have talked to my obgyn about it and they've done ultrasounds and taken tests but they can't explain it nor do they act concerned. They act like it's no big deal and it's normal. I use to be able to masterbate or have sex up to 4 times a day but now this happens and makes me scared that if I have sex or masterbate that it's gonna happen. I have found that until it becomes a serious problem that the only way to manage it is ibuprofen and a hot pack. I also use hormonal essential oil blends. Hopefully what I've said here will give some of you some relief. The pain is unbearable sometimes. I'm so sorry you all have experienced this.

Pro tip: FIND NEW DOCTORS. I am 24. I realized I can just choose to make an appointment with any doctor at any time. Ya know, Monday through Friday 9 to 5. But you can leave a voicemail any time! Also I tend to make some decisions based on my insurance and my limited resources.
Every time I don't mesh with a doctor, or I move, I just get either on google or my insurance website. I search for who is in my area and maybe if they specialize in what I need. Then I call and set up a new patient appointment.
I have felt, many times, that my concerns have been disregarded. I have also felt like i was treated "like a child". I have come across more then one doctor who told me out right that I was lying. Just remember, DOCTORS WORK FOR YOU. If you think you are not being treated in a professional manner fire their ass! You know what's right for you and you get to choose. This is why our health care system is actually cool. Take advantage of your freedom as an adult! You are not supposed to be in pain. Your body is trying to tell you something : ) Good luck. It is so hard for me to decide how to feel about health related situations and who I want to include in my team. You got this : )
