Back pain during intercourse is a common issue for both men and women, especially in middle age and older. The feeling of fatigue and pain in the lower back makes many people uncomfortable and worried, leading to a tendency to avoid sexual activity, thus affecting family happiness.
Symptoms of back pain during intercourse
During sexual intercourse, the lower back is under a lot of pressure, which can easily lead to fatigue and aches. The pain can range from a dull ache to intense pain around the waist, across the lower back and above the buttocks.
Some people also experience numbness in the legs, blurred vision, dizziness, and overall fatigue. If this condition persists, it not only affects physical health but also impacts mental well-being, causing anxiety, fear, and even trauma during intercourse.
Causes of back pain during intercourse
Back pain during intercourse is mostly due to excessive duration and intensity of sexual activity. This causes the lower back muscles to stiffen abnormally, and the spinal ligaments are easily strained suddenly, causing pain. In addition, incorrect or uncomfortable positions, sexual activity in a state of fatigue or lack of arousal also contribute to back pain in both men and women.
Frequent back pain with increasing intensity is a warning sign of a problem in the lumbar spine or originating from injuries in other organs.
Many people with spinal conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spinal degeneration, sciatica, ankylosing spondylitis, etc are prone to lower back pain during or after intercourse. Patients with lumbar disc herniation often find it difficult and have little interest in sexual activity.
What patients should do to avoid back pain during intercourse
– Prepare everything carefully, from a relaxed mindset to the necessary physical strength to begin intercourse. Pay attention to even the smallest details such as mattresses, towels, and pillows to ensure comfort and help both partners feel aroused, avoid pain and fear.
– Start slowly, do not rush. Have moderate and healthy intercourse at the right time. Note, avoid sexual activity when the body does not really want it or is intoxicated with alcohol.
– Try different positions and postures to find the most comfortable for both partners. The “doggy style” or traditional positions help limit back pain. If the pain occurs in men, the woman should be in the “top” position. For people with herniated discs, avoid postures and movements that negatively affect the spine, such as arching or bending forward.
When experiencing lower back pain, patients should rest and relax their muscles immediately, both physically and mentally. However, sexual activity must be temporarily stopped, and this should be clearly explained to the partner to avoid affecting the relationship.
If the pain persists after a few days, the patient should consult a specialist in Spine Therapy to determine the exact cause and receive the appropriate treatment. Especially for severe lower back pain that radiates to other parts of the body, causing numbness in the legs or loss of bowel or bladder control, immediate medical attention is necessary.
