Is it normal to have bloating, nausea, and cramping after sex, along with a heavy discharge during ovulation?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I recently began having intercourse and have a question concerning changes in discharge within the stomach and uterus. After sex, I feel bloated and completely flushed over, and my discharge is clear and almost waterlike. Following intercourse, I noticed that my ovulation period had become more intense as my discharge flow was heavier than normal. It also had begun to thicken with a more transparent milky color. I do not know if this has anything to do with intercourses; however, I have also of nausea and cramping. I initially thought these symptoms were due to a bacterial infection caused by the hitting of my cervix; however, I would like to know if other causes could be identified.

Please advice.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Dear, please send me detailed medical and drug history. If you have been experiencing any medical issues, have complete treatment from the specialist. I suggest the below tips

  • Have strict hygiene and use condoms for sex to avoid sexually transmitted infections.
  • Use soft, comfortable undergarments.
  • Avoid cosmetics locally and use only dull razors for hair removal.
  • Have a salt bath to reduce irritation.
  • Use a high vaginal swab after collecting the swab, and I suggest taking tablet Doxycycline 100 mg 12 hourly and tablet Metronidazole 400 mg 8 hourly for 14 days. Collect the swab report and discuss it here.

Best of luck.
