Why does it hurt when hitting the uterus during sexual intercourse?
As we all know, during sexual activity, women tend to make certain "sounds," which are commonly referred to as "bed noises." Many men assume that women engage in such behavior solely due to pleasure, yet there are other factors at play, such as pain. Certain sexual positions can allow the male penis to penetrate deeply into the female vagina, potentially reaching the cervix. Then, why does it hurt when the cervix is touched during sexual activity? The anterior wall of the vagina in adult women is relatively short, measuring approximately 7-9 centimeters, while the posterior wall is longer, at 9-12 centimeters. Guidance: The average length of a male penis is 11-16cm, which can reach the cervix, though this is not absolute. The section from the genitalia to the uterus is the vagina, and a person's height does not necessarily correlate with the length of their vagina, which also depends on the position of the uterus. Typically, the vagina of a woman measures between 7-9 centimeters in length, while the normal length of a male penis ranges from 9-13 centimeters. Therefore, it is generally easy for a man with a normal penis length to reach the cervix. The uterus is located in the center of the pelvic cavity, between the bladder and the rectum. In a normal, adult, non-pregnant woman, the uterus assumes an anteverted and anteflexed position, stabilized primarily by the pelvic diaphragm, vaginal support, and ligament traction. These include four pairs of ligaments: the broad ligament, round ligament, cardinal ligament, and sacrouterine ligament of the uterus. If present, stimulation in this area can be more intense, potentially eliciting a urge to urinate. The vaginal and uterine lengths vary among women. Generally, Chinese men rarely reach the deepest part of the uterus, which is the cervix. Sexual activity occurs within the vagina, and the cervix is normally closed, only opening during menstruation and childbirth. Attempting to enter the uterus is impossible, and touching the cervix can be painful. Normally, any penis longer than 11 centimeters can reach the cervix, and often, it is not the uterus but the cervix that is being touched. Rehabilitation guidance: Provided both partners are healthy and have cleaned their genitals beforehand, there should be no issues. Most likely, the pain is related to referred pain caused by an adnexitis (inflammation of the female reproductive organs other than the uterus). Please seek timely medical attention for the treatment of any adnexal inflammation. Before attempting to conceive, a patency test for the fallopian tubes and uterus is one of the essential procedures. Otherwise, it could lead to misunderstandings, delays, and missed opportunities. Pregnancy is a complex process involving multiple factors from both the male and female partners. It is recommended to undergo systematic examination and treatment at a reputable hospital's specialized department. This approach can help avoid detours and facilitate early conception!
