What causes pain in lower thigh above knee during intercourse?
Patient: I tend to have this pain in my lower thigh, above my left knee sometimes when I'm having intercourse with my wife (at the point of ejaculation).  It occurs quite often - enough to be concerned.  Could there be some sort of obstruction or circulatory issue to be concerned about? Doctor: Hi,  It is likely because of muscle spasm. Try changing position and you can take tablets for muscle cramp. It is unlikely to be serious issue. However, if the problem persists, please see doctor.  Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Sujoy Dasgupta, OB & GYN Specialist
