Sex is a huge trigger for a lot of us, so it's possible that caused your pain. I know I sometimes get really intense bladder and urethral burning after sex, and it HURTS.

Try looking down at the other posts in this "Romance and Sex" section... a lot of people have posted some great ideas to help relieve the pain after sex and to help make your next sexual encounter easier and less painful.

I'm SO sorry this happened to you... :grouphug:

I hope you feel better soon!!

Hey,
I am newly diagnosed with IC, and have the same problem. It was never very comfortable having sex, but I still managed to enjoy it. I've just started having sex with my new boyfriend, and yes, acid being poured everywhere is the perfect description. You are definitely not alone in that...
Hope we can figure out a way to deal with it!!!

There's information in the Patient Handbook at http://www.ic-network.com/handbook/ that might help you. And the book, "The Interstitial Cystitis Survival Guide," has a chapter on sexual relationships that is helpful.

Sending encouraging hugs,
