Headaches, pelvic pain eye inflammation, muscle soreness, out of breath.... Does this sound like the latest round of P90X, well it's not, it's what can happen after sex! As a gyno we probably get asked about bleeding, or spotting that occurs after intercourse more than any other complaint, but lots of other physical symptoms and issues can occur. Sometimes we discover there is a small tear that occurred in the back wall of the vagina, and some bruising around the urethra as well. Headaches that only occur after sex are relatively common as well. The headaches that individuals have only after having sex are most commonly called post coital headaches but are also also called sexual headache, benign vascular sexual headache, and coital cephalagia .

For some it's a matter of not even getting enough aroused to even have a chance to orasm. Female sexual arousal disorder is a condition in which a woman has difficulty maintaining arousal so that she doesn't ever climax. Complete lack of orgasms (anorgasmia) is not very common.
