Hi,
I am 23 and have been sexually active since 1 yr(with my first and only partner). We had sex 2-3 times in the past six months because I get a burning sensation in my vagina as soon as he 'gets in'. I tried with my fingers later on and even my finegrs in my vagina burn and hurt. I had pleasurable sex b4 this syndrome started.
We have tried with and without condoms/KY jelly, but the burning is always there as soon as anything enters my vagina. Even during different times in my cycle...
Does anyone know what this is about? I want to have fun again!
I had the same problem. I asked my Docter and she said it's because the skin in my vagina is too thin and causes irratation. She gave me cream to 'thicken' the skin and about a week or two later sex felt great! no more irratation! It's very common so don't be afraid to ask your doctor!
Well, after I found out that I had a bacterial vaginal infection/yeast infection I started experiencing the burning. I took medicine for the vaginal infection but the burning soon followed.
I couldn't enjoy the sex anymore and the burning was very uncomfortable. It would last up to est. 5 min. would only happen when I would have sex with my husband, which started after the bacterial infection. I was afraid that my vagina was damage because of the infection.
I told my doctor, but she said that it just because my vagina was still sore/sensitive because of the infection. The infection was long gone but still experiencing the burning months later.
So am guessing the infection caused my lining to weaken.
