My vagina is very sore after sex. It gets
a little puffy and it's extremely
sensitive. If I try to touch it gently,
it burns. Especially right underneath
the opening. That seems to be where the
most friction is during sex. The
soreness lasts for a few days. I haven't
been having sex that long, and I only have
sex with my boyfriend who i've been dating
for three years. Sex hurt the first time
and it got better, but this soreness never
went away. Is this normal or should I
see my doctor?

I experience the same thing, especially
the burning! But I think I have extra
skin down there which sometimes makes it
hard for my boyfriend to enter me and also
causes it to rub n get really sore and
uncomfortable.... I think seeing a doctor
is the best thing to do, thats what i'm
planning to do

I hope you don't mind a man replying to
your post. It seems that everyone posts
everywhere on this forum.
Anyway, it doesn't seem like there is
anything wrong with your body, just
friction as you say, and this could be
because you're not getting 'wet' enough.
Maybe it would be good to try some sort of
lubricant which might reduce the friction
on this area? It would need to be a
water-based lubricant if your boyfriend
uses condoms as petrol-based lubricants
can erode the latex causing the condom to
split.
I don't know if it would also help, but
maybe try a change of position that puts
less pressure on this area during
penetration.
Take care...

I usually get swelled up after sex a bit,
but it goes away after a few hours, more
so after clitoral stimulation.
And it will sting a bit when I have my
first pee afterwards, (especially for
rough sex!) but nothing serious.
If you were to have sex at night before
going to sleep it, would be gone by the
time you wake up. ( the puffiness)
your fine!!! Completely normal

This has happened to me a couple of times,
and both times I had a yeast infection.
My clitoris swelled quite a bit, and it
burned and was swolen. I would go to the
doctor and rule out a yeast infection,
especially if it's quite severe. Some
swelling does happen during intercorse,
but most women can tell what normal
swelling is, and when there's a problem.
Hope I helped!

Do you use a condom? When my husband and
I first had sex, we used condoms, and they
caused a lot of extra friction that made
me really sore. It got to the point
where I couldn't have sex for a week or
two while I healed. Now i'm on the pill
and because i'm married i'm not worried
about std's so we don't use any barrier
method and its much better.

It's just your hymen getting in the way,
most likely. Your hymen is skin that
encircles that vaginal opening and
stretches/breaks when first having
intercourse. I have been having
intercourse since july, and the first
several times caused some discomfort and
itching. Sometimes, even now, if my
boyfriend and I don't do it for a week and
a half or more (maybe because of
period...Busy schedule, etc.), it will
still be irritated.
If it is causing discomfort, don't have
intercourse for 3-6 days. Check it with a
mirror. I'm not sure if petroleum jelly
is safe to use, but ask someone you know
what is best to use...Or maybe someone
here has good advice. Just let it heal!
If after several days it is itching and
causing issues...Call your doctor or a
clinic and ask to see someone.
Good luck!

I wouldn't worry about it unless if the
pain persists.
Condoms could cause the irritation.
Also, I lost my virginity a week ago and
have had sex 5 times this week. I'm sore
too!!!
It should go away.
Just take things easy for a while and
don't have sex too much.
Your boyfriend will understand.
Take a break from sex and tell him that
your sore.

Sore After Sex Posted: 12-20-05 14:05pm
Well i'm going to be totally honest me and
my boyfriend had quite a lot f sex today
and i'm so sore...It's only when I go to
the loo and touch the area (hymen). I
think its just due to lack of lubrication
and I think the rest of you guys have the
same issue. We dont use condoms becasue
im on the pill and before this
relationship both of us were virgins.
I would say go to the docs but then again
I wudnt cuz im a wuss lol!
