This is really hard to ask, but is painful intercourse a side effect of IBS? Sometimes it causes pain in my gut, rather like sharp gas pains. Sorry about the question... I just wondered if there was anyone else, or if this is just something unrelated that I need to see my doctor over. :-(

I've had problems with painful intercourse a couple of times when my symptoms have really been bad, but it doesn't happen all the time. It's probably worth a visit to the doctor just to rule out anything else.

H2 - If I were you, I'd go to your ob/gyn and have it checked out. You never know and that way, you'll know why. Good Luck and let us know the results!

You are right... if I can talk about bowel movements, I should be able to say "intercourse" without blushing. lol.
Thanks guys, glad to know it is not just me, and I will mention it to the gyn at my next appt this spring, just to be sure it isn't anything else.

I can relate to this as well. Especially during bouts of constipation. Yes, it is embarrasing to talk about and I never have until now. This message board is so comfortable! Hang in there, H2.

Sorry... I work in the internet field where we are all too lazy to type entire words and instead abbreviate everything. LOL is "Laugh Out Loud" - I tend to use it to laugh at myself.
