Vaginal burning sensation after sex
Posted: 02-08-07 09:08am

I have a fairly bad burning sensation in my vagina after I have sex with my boyfriend when he has ejaculated inside me. I get worried about it every time we have sex.
Neither of us have any STDs as we've just been tested.

Is there anything we can do to stop this from happening, without resorting to using condoms?

Thanks.

Given your only symptom, a burning sensation in your vagina anytime after having sex, you'll have to perform a vaginal examination to learn more. Vaginal inflammation (colpitis) can cause a burning sensation such as the one you describe, but in your case you are not experiencing vaginal inflammation & vaginal discharge present during colpitis. Colpitis is not always caused by an infection. Colpitis can be due to an irritation or allergy provoked by lubricants, spermicides, condoms etc.
You can visit your gynecologist to identifty the reason for this vaginal burning sensation.
