Pelvic pain and sex

[Hannah818]

Hi , sorry sounds like a stupid question - Does sex hurt with reoccurring pelvic pain ? Can it trigger the pain to come back or an infection to start if someone has abscess in pelvic area such as fallopian tubes or near ovaries?

Hi, I'm new here. Not sure how helpful my answer will be for you, but I'll do my best.

1. Sex can be very painful when experiencing pelvic pain.

2. Sex can cause the pain to become worse and/or trigger flare ups of the pelvic pain.

3. I'm not entirely sure about the abscess question. (Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.) Maybe ask your doctor?

Thank you for your reply wasn't sure if because the pelvic pain I have cones and goes whether sex would trigger it to come , havent ventured in that territory since being diagnosed. I'll see if I can muster the courage to ask the gynaecologist next time I have appointment- find him a bit intimidating!
