Question:
I am very concerned for my wife right now. We recently were married, and for the several days following we had sex several times. Monday morning was the last time, because she had to go on a business trip. She just told me that yesterday night she began experiencing pain inside of her. And now she says it's painful to walk and even to sit. She also says that she's urinating very frequently, nearly every hour. Do you know what's wrong? Prior to sexual intercourse, I would try to arouse her by putting my fingers inside of her. I was thinking that maybe that was the cause of it. But then is it usual for her to begin experiencing pain three days after our last sexual encounter? She is about a week from her next period.

Dear concerned, There could be many reasons your wife is experiencing abdominal pain, and other than making a trip to the gynecologist, there is no way I could begin to diagnose the problem. It is possible she is experiencing a urinary tract infection, which could cause intense abdominal pain, frequent urination, pain while urinating and inability to empty the bladder. Urinary tract infections (or UTI's)are caused by bacteria that gets inside the urethra and causes intense pain and irritation during urination. It can be contracted by not urinating after sexual penetration (bacteria can be pushed into the urethra from the penis thrusting in and out, and by urinating after intercourse, some of the bacteria can be expelled), or wiping from back to front (allowing bacteria from the anus to make contact with the urethra). Again, I highly recommend a visit to your physician and/or gynecologist for diagnosis of this issue!Reviewed by: Patricia Fawver Ph.D. in Sexology
