sore abdominal muscles

i know this isin't the right way to go about this but i needed some opinions quickly...

I've recently been experiencing slight bothersome pains in my abdomen that have been taunting me for the past few days. It's not very painful just uncomfortable, enuff to make me come here. I attributed it to the abundance of intercourse I and the misses have been having recently but I feel thats not the cause. Applying slight pressure to specific muscles causes the pain. I have concluded my rectus abdominus is very sore, to the point it hurts to touch anywhere on my frontal region. If i turn my upper body side to side, I can feel pain in my external obliques. All other abdominal muscles seem to be fine. Is it common for all 3 muscles to become sore at once? I haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary lately, except for the increase in sex.

I'm deciding whether or not I should wait it out a few days to see if the pain goes away or if I should seek medical attention. Any/all advice/suggestions is/are greatly appreciated.
