“Why do I have stabbing pain in my lower abdomen?”
I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend 2 days back, post which I am having a stabbing pain in my lower abdomen. What could be the cause of this pain? Is it any infection that I may have got during the intercourse? Please advice.

Your best follow up is a visit to your LMD. A visit by referral or directly (if you are authorized) to an ob-gyn specialist seems indicated.
I recommend contacting your primary care provider for further evaluation. You want to get evaluated for various things including infection and trauma.
We need more details to get an accurate diagnosis. A sexually transmitted disease is usually confined to the external genitalia, the vagina & uterus, which would be felt as lower abdominal pain. If there's pain on urination, there may be a urinary tract infection, and if the infection ascends up the ureters, then pain could be perceived as lower abdominal. A thorough history, pelvic & abdominal exams, and blood count to see if neutrophils are up b/o an infection, plus cultures of the pelvic area, will likely be helpful in making an accurate diagnosis.
