I'm really worried because I had sex a couple of weeks ago and now I'm experiencing these sharp abdominal pains. Could this be related? Should I be concerned or do something specific about it?

Sharp abdominal pain after sex could be due to various reasons such as pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, or even a urinary tract infection. I would recommend taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen and scheduling an appointment with your gynecologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can also try using a heating pad on your abdomen for relief.
