10 weird things that can happen to your body after sex (that are no big deal)

The connection was reset.

In the first blissful moments right after sex, you’re probably not thinking about
what’s going on with your body in that exact moment (except maybe how
amazing you feel). After all, thinking about the possibility of a UTI after sex is
probably the least sexy place your mind could wander, right? But even in
those immediate post-coital moments, you may feel like some weird things
are going on with your body, especially if you’re in a little pain and wondering
why sex might hurt or give you some other strange reaction.

It’s important to remember that sex, no matter how you do it, is a physical act
involving your entire body, so your body might react in weird ways, such as
your skin flushing or there being a slight burning when you pee. Don’t freak
out! We’re here to tell you some of the common things that can happen to

your body post-sex, and why they’re mostly NBD.

Of course, we *must* point out that if you’re having any kind of recurring
physical reaction to sex, you should see your doctor to make sure everything
is OK and to put your mind at ease.

But as for these minor symptoms? They’re actually

pretty normal.

The umbrella term for painful sex is dyspareunia, which covers genital pain
that may occur just before, during, or after intercourse. It’s surprisingly
common and can feel like anything from a dull ache to cramping. Board-
certified ob-gyn and cohost of The Doctors Jennifer Ashton, MD, told
Prevention.com in 2016 that this often happens due to the release of the
hormone oxytocin during sex, which can cause uterine contractions. If it only
happens occasionally or the pain is mild, it’s really NBD. But if the pain is

2. There’s a little blood.

If you’re not on your period and you see a little blood after sex, it might worry
you, but chances are, it’s nothing to be concerned about. Of course, if there is
a sizable amount of blood, you will absolutely want to let your doctor know,
but a few spots here and there are nothing to panic about. It can be caused
by inflammation of the cervix, or tiny tears in the vagina after a particularly
rough romp. It can also happen if you’re with a new partner who is on the

3. Things are burning up

If you feel a little burning or stinging when you pee right after sex (and you
are always peeing right after sex, right?), your first instinct might be that you
have a urinary tract or sexually transmitted infection. But actually, minor
burning and stinging is pretty common, provided that it goes away within a
few hours. Ashton told Prevention.com what’s really going on with this, Uber bows to Philippines suspension after show

explaining: “There can be some engorgement of vaginal tissues, and since

the urethra is so closely situated to the vagina, that can cause temporary
burning or stinging with urinating after sex.” It’s easier to prevent this by
making sure you’re fully lubricated and prepared for intercourse, and of
course, urinating just before and after sexual activity.

4. You’re feeling itchy down below

If you’re experiencing some kind of skin reaction on the outer part of the
vulva, or near your thighs or abdomen, it may be a reaction to the lubrication,

partner. Yikes.
If your symptoms are minor, it may be a one-time reaction, but if you’re
experiencing hives, swelling, or any other strong physical reaction, you’ll want
to seek medical attention ASAP. But minor itchies are usually NBD and can
go away on their own. Whew.

We’ve already expressed the importance of peeing before and after sex, but
what happens when you feel a sudden strong urge to pee following P in V? It
could be a number of relatively harmless things, but it’s more than likely due
to those uterine contractions we told you about earlier, or bladder spasms,
which are not dangerous and usually temporary.
