Stomach pains
21 Answers
I have recently been getting really bad stomach pains (feel a bit like period pains) and it hurts sometimes more than others. It usually hurts the most either during or after sex, and it is really putting me off making love with my boyfriend. It even hurts when I press my stomach gently. I am worried in case it is anything serious, does anyone have any suggestions as to what it might be? And will a smear test detect the problem (as blood tests make me cringe!)

Best to get checked out and at the GUM you won't need a blood test unless you want testing for syphilis or HIV. And it's worth doing, some STDs can leave us girlies infertile and we don't want that. Have you had a std test before?? If not don't be scared, they spend all day looking at them.
Hello Casey. Do you ever bleed when you get these pains? In my early 20's, I had a similar problem - pain during intercourse, more in some positions than others. I was with a long-term boyfriend and had to see a gynae. It turned out my uterus tilts the other way to 'normal' which shouldn't really cause problems, but it caused erosion of the lining which I had to have cauterised. It isn't a major procedure and soon had the problem sorted. I would advice you to see your doc to put your mind at rest, as has been suggested. Good luck

I had similar pains. They occured after sex one evening and my partner made me go to casualty. I had to wait there for 5 hours, was given a smear test and urine test and there was nothing wrong with me at all.
Definitely get checked out, but don't worry too much, cos it might be nothing.
I still get pains like that after sex occasionally.
