    Why does my vagina burn after sex?
    Me and my boyfriend have been having unprotected sex and we are both clean. But, after we have sex my vagina is very sore to the touch and burns slightly around the opening of my vagina. If we try to have sex anyway it hurts more and sometimes I won't be able to have sex for up tp 8 hours or until the pain goes away. This happens every time we have sex. Does anyone know what this could be?

    Are you sure you are both clean? When was the last time you were both tested?

    Have you tried using any lubricants during sex? Is he being too rough (even on accident)?

    Nickky,

    You probably need to see a doctor and have an exam. There could be many reasons you are experiencing burning after sexual relations. A yeast infection could cause burning like that and it IS possible to have a yeast infection and not experience the other things that normally go with it.

    I too have this same problem, except I only have it when me and my boyfriend have unprotected sex. We have only been with each other, so its not any STD's. I have read up about it. Many people say that the pH balance in your body is out of wack, or you could possibly be allergic to his sperm, but if you don't have any break outs, like on your arm, than its probably not that. I have also heard that you should use a water based lubricant. I hope you figure out how to help your problem.

    Dolly doll,

    Trust me... check it out could be a yeast infection. When PH balance is out of wack it can produce that kind of an infection an you don't have to have the other symptoms yeast causes. Burning, itching all signs of infection. I never ever get your typical symptoms of yeast. But burning after intercourse is always the first sign.
