sore insides

[bitembarrassedactually]

Name changed for this. DH and I have been going through a really rough year. Married a long time. No kissing or sex for over 8 months. We'd drifted apart and I'm the one who wants to pull us back together. Sunday morning I decided to cuddle him in bed. Just a sleepy cuddle. This turned into him half-cuddling me back. Then he initiated sex. It was good and I felt very happy. A few hours later I start feeling bruised inside. It feels like a water infection type pain but no symptoms of a water infection. When I walk I feel like I want to lean forwards to lessen the pain. What have I done to my insides. Can you have a bruised cervix?

Was it a particularly rough session, and / or is he bigger than average?

It wasn't particularly rough. I don't have a lot of experience of other men so size-wise I would say perhaps a bit on the generous size but we've been together 25 years so not got many to compare to. I think he has a long one and he is over 6 feet tall. Could he have been super-aroused because it had been such along time since we last had sex? Is there anything I can do other than abstain from more sex for a week?

Salt water baths and a couple of days off should sort it out. A little canestan cream on the exterior can soothe too.

If you've not had anything up there in 8 months it's normal. It's like how your bum hurts when riding a bike for the first time in years. Like that, you just need to get back on the saddle some more

My insides seem less sore now thankfully. I think we got carried away. Perhaps he was a bit over-keen. By tomorrow I'm sure the sore bits will be much better. I'm working today and pray no one peers over my shoulder!

Just a thought but if you've been together 25 years you're probably late 40s, early 50s? I started getting uti symptoms after sex and turned out to be menopause related. Have topical oestrogen cream which helped loads. May just be a one off but worth a Google!

Thank you. I had not thought of that but will bear it in mind. I am mid forties. I'll keep tabs on next time is get the symptoms and will write them in my diary to remember next time I see doctor. Thanks again.
