Doctor BUI QUOC CUONG, Men's Health Center, replied: Back pain during or after sex is a common condition in both men and women, especially men. The pain often occurs mainly in the lower lumbar region with a dull or severe level. Many people have pain concentrated on the left, right and central spine, or in the sacral spine.
Back pain after sex is common in people who do specific jobs such as long-distance driving, carrying heavy loads, office workers or people of middle age or older, when the lumbar spine begins to degenerate.
During sex, the lumbar muscles must work hard to act as a fulcrum to help the body vibrate continuously. When reaching the ejaculation stage, men will have a phenomenon of muscle stiffness throughout the body, at the same time the lumbar muscles and pelvic floor will tend to contract strongly. That is the reason why men are prone to aches and back pain after sex.
In fact, men with herniated discs, degenerative spine disease, scoliosis, ankylosing spondylitis, spondylolisthesis, etc. are more likely to have back pain after sex than men with normal health. Irregular sexual activity is one of the causes of back pain after sex.
Normally, back pain after sex in men will gradually decrease over time, but in some cases, due to excessive time and activity intensity, the tendons and muscles in the lumbar region become abnormally stiff, and even the spinal ligaments can be suddenly stretched, causing prolonged back pain.
To reduce back pain during and after sex, you can take a hot bath before making love to relax your muscles. You should practice sex positions that help both of you feel comfortable and easily reach orgasm. Avoid having sex when you are not excited.
In addition, to protect the spine, in daily activities, you should also avoid bending over to lift heavy objects. If you have bone and joint diseases, you should treat them thoroughly before having sex to avoid the condition from getting worse.
