Nothing is fun when you constipated and sex is no different. Sex is meant to be enjoyed and when you are constipated, nothing can be enjoyed – you are uncomfortable, in pain, and are desperate to get cleared out. In a situation like this, sex isn’t a good option. Nothing is fun when you constipated and sex is no different.

“During constipation, your rectum is filled up to the edge and is surrounded by gas. This combination is the reason why we feel so uncomfortable and suffer from occasional cramps. Another thing that makes it worse for a person wanting to have sex during constipation is the fact that rectum is perfectly placed behind a woman’s vagina – remember this is the same rectum which is filled with stool. Putting pressure on rectum is not advised, especially during constipation” – Nirmal Singh 3C
The doctor also cleared some important questions about constipation and sex.1. You might be open to serious health issues if your constipation persists Most people don’t know this but serious constipation or suffering from constipation can lead to pelvic floor damage. Pain during sexual intercourse while constipated is also a sign of a tilted uterus.
2. Getting constipated after pregnancy is common
You take heavy vitamins and medicines while pregnant and after childbirth, so suffering from constipation becomes very common. This is not going to last for a long time but indulging in sexual activities should be avoided because your abdominal muscles are weak during the first few weeks after pregnancy.
3. Anal sex can make things worse
This should be a no-brainer really. People think that anal sex can ‘open’ up the path for the stool to pass – there are people who think that it can make things worse and a bit messy as the muscles get relaxed way too much.
4. Anal sex or thrusting the area will help you relax the muscles
Nirmal Singh 3C stated that, although, anal sex is not recommended if you haven’t tried it before, but it can alleviate the symptoms of constipations and make you comfortable, so there’s that. It can also help you dislodge the duct. The chances of getting infections are also high – treading with care is advised. It might be okay to have sex during constipation, it might not be, but to take the usual medicine and to wait it out should be the way to go. You can fight the urge to have sex for a couple of days – this should not be that difficult, to be honest.
