After cohabitation, how to deal with lower abdominal discomfort

Patient's question:

I am 41 years old this year. After each sexual intercourse, I feel a sense of distending pain in my lower abdomen and the left side of my lower abdomen. It's not a severe pain, just uncomfortable, like a distending sensation as if I haven't urinated for a long time or relieved it after a long delay. Since then, I've been afraid of sexual life, which greatly affects our marital relationship. I have also seen a doctor before, but there's no good solution. The only thing that helps is not having sex, and then it's fine. I got an IUD 16 years ago. What should I do? What is this problem?

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis:
If you're feeling this kind of discomfort, it could be due to the presence of mild pelvic inflammatory disease.
Guidelines:
For such a condition, you can consider undergoing a gynecological examination and a color Doppler ultrasound. If pelvic inflammatory disease is confirmed, you can receive intravenous anti-inflammatory injections or take oral anti-inflammatory medications.
