In addition to flatulence after sex that is also painful, other typical symptoms of cervicitis are vaginal bleeding outside of menstrual schedule, pain during sex, and abnormal discharge of vaginal discharge. However, not all women with cervicitis feel these symptoms.
2. Ovarian cysts
Ovarian cysts are not always dangerous and can disappear on their own. Most women who experience ovarian cysts don't feel any symptoms. However, if the size of the cyst is large enough, it will usually cause symptoms such as:
- Pelvic pain or in the lower abdomen.
- The stomach feels full or heavy.

3. Ovarian cancer
Not all cases of ovarian cancer cause stomach pain and bloating after sex. However, that does not mean you may underestimate this condition. Cancer of the ovary is susceptible to spread to other parts of the body, so that it will be increasingly difficult to treat it thoroughly.
Therefore, you need to recognize a variety of other more common symptoms of ovarian cancer. That is:

4. Abnormalities in the position of the uterus
About one in 4 women has an inverted uterus or in medical terms it is called retroverted uterus. Reverse uterus is a condition that occurs when the position of the uterus is slightly angled towards the pelvis. Though normally, the uterus tends to lean toward the stomach.
Reverse uterus usually does not cause typical symptoms. But besides flatulence after sex, some women may also complain of pain during sex. Especially in certain positions that require women to be above men.
Not only that, this condition can also cause menstruation to be very painful (dysmenorrhea).
5. Pelvic inflammation

Many women are not aware of PID at the beginning of its appearance. After causing pain in the pelvic area which is quite debilitating, then it is detected.

- Fever.
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding.
- Difficult to get pregnant, due to a blocked fallopian tube.
- Pelvic pain, during sex or urination.
6. Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition when the uterine wall tissue grows outside the uterus. This network will participate decays when you menstruate, but does not come out of the vagina. The blood is actually trapped in the uterus causing irritation and inflammation, which in turn causes a series of painful symptoms.
Women who experience endometriosis usually experience pelvic pain and also bloating, including after having sex. Not only that, women with endometriosis usually experience excessive menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) and feel very painful (dysmenorrhea)
7. PCOS
PCOS aka polycystic ovary syndrome is a disorder that results from an excess of androgen hormones in a woman's body. This condition causes menstruation to feel painful or even irregular, making PCOS women difficult to get pregnant. In addition, women with PCOS are also prone to obesity and insulin resistance.
