Pain During Intimacy

[TwinkleToes]

Hi all,

I'm hoping some lady friends on here can let me know if they have been experiencing the same problem as me. I wanted to know if Humira has caused you any pain whatsoever during intercourse. I have been dealing with some, especially after tonight. It was really bad to where I was curled up in the fetal position for about 10 minutes after. I looked online and it seems to be something that is not extremely common, but still possible. I have never experienced this before until I started my Humira a month ago. Has anyone else had this issue? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Twinkle Toes,
I'm not sure about Crohns but I do know endometriosis causes this. I was diagnosed with this before IBD. Other symptoms of endo include pain during periods, heavy periods and longer than normal periods.

In other words, I'd go to the doc and get checked out. No one should have to put up with that! Good luck with everything!

The weird thing is, that this has never happened before. Apparently there was a study done about this by theFDA, so I think that might be it. But, if it happens again I will go to see my Doctor.

I've had this before but I also got swelling and horrible pressure and pain. It was due to a bacterial infection. Antibiotics, hormones, sex, etc can throw you off. Get your gyno to check you out. I also had pain when inflammation was at its worst. Now that I'm on humira I've had no issues.

Lola - That sounds a lot like what I dealt with. It was a lower pelvic pressure. I will definitely go to see my Gyno.
