What causes kidney pain during sex?
Pain may appear in the kidneys during sexual intercourse. It is usually linked to pain in the lower back. “Moving during sex can trigger or awaken pain in the back, and having the sensation of pain in the kidneys“, specifies Dr Sylvain Mimoun, gynecologist and sexologist. This pain in the kidneys can appear suddenly after intense physical activity or unusual actions (work, gardening, etc.) or can be reactivated by the act itself.
What causes kidney pain after sex?
This pain in the kidneys can in fact be felt after sexual intercourse. It can also be recurrent and get worse over time. Its cause is mainly physics and mechanics. “Usually men are the first to complain about it.“, he notes. And if we regularly have pain in the lower back or in this area, at the level of the kidneys, sexual intercourse by its intensity and the nature of these movements of flexion and tension will intensify this pain. The act itself will be the cause of this evil.
When and who to consult if you have kidney pain during sex?
“You should not stay with back pain, localized in the kidneys to prevent the pain from persisting.“, insists our interlocutor. The best is to consult a general practitioner and optionally, a rheumatologist.
This evil is, depending on its intensity, difficult to control during the sexual act. “Love self-perpetuates the pain and fragility of this area. It is not uncommon for it to be advised to avoid any movement and sexual intercourse so that the pain disappears and the body is at rest for a while”advises Dr. Mimoun.
