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

Happens to me as well, but only in my sleep - if I don't have sex for a long time and my body starts to compensate it by erotic dreams. I suspect it might be a vaginal orgasm as I'm not able to reach it when I'm awake and clitoral orgasm doesn't cause any trouble at all. I believe it started in my 20s but might be earlier.
November 20, 2014 - 7:36amI am now pregnant for the first and the problem became more freaquent as our doctor recommended to stay off sex for a while and I also don't mustrubate....a bit scared of miscarriage when it happens...

Just a note: I as well experienced exactly the same thing. Pain DURING orgasm NOT AFTER orgasm. I have come to find out I have uterine prolapse. This means my uterus is hanging down lower than it should be. I believe the two are related. Ask your doc to check for prolapse. Don't have sex for at least a week before you go. If you have it, intercourse will push it back up to where it is suppose to be and it takes a while to descend again.

I'm only 28 and have experienced something similar. It's like I can't reach my full orgasim- it's cut off by a dull pain. I havnt thought of mentioning this to the gyno previously, but will now.

Hi,
July 25, 2011 - 5:19pmI did some searching for you. I found an article by Dr. David Delvin for the website, netdoctor.com.uk He coins the term, dysorgasmia. Like you, many women who suffer from pain following orgasm could not be given a cause by their physicians. Immediate recommended treatments include taking an analgesic or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication or applying warmth to the lower abdomen with a heating pad. One suggestion is taking an analgesic or NSAID prior to having intercourse.
I can only suggest that you seek a second opinion from a gynecologist who may specialize in issues of painful intercourse.

I find that Naproxen has been working. Dysorgasmia and adenomyosis has been my problem as well as endometriosisin my colon.

Hi,
July 22, 2011 - 6:00pmHave you ever been diagnosed (by pelvic ultrasound) with uterine fibroids?
I have both uterine fibroids and experienced a strong uterine cramping with orgasm, especially close to ovulation. I just lived with it.

I have had a pelvic ultrasound and the my gyn told me that nothing showed up. Should I ask for another and mention uterine fibroids?
July 22, 2011 - 6:23pmI have been living with this too and am tired of it. There has to be something to help.
