Burning sensations in the vagina Posted: 06-13-08 02:20am
I just recently went on the pill and
started to have sex with my boyfriend
without using condoms. Intercourse is
fine, but after he ejaculates inside me I
get a painful burning sensation in my
vagina, which gets worse after I go to the
bathroom (it gradually subsides in about
half an hour to an hour). This has
happened twice. One time, we had
unprotected sex but he ejaculated outside
of me, and I didn't have this problem...so
I feel it's directly semen-related. Any
idea what might be causing this? Could I
be allergic to semen, or maybe I'm just
irritated from the intercourse? Should we
try using lube? I'm trying to talk my
boyfriend into going back to condoms, it
was so much easier! And sex is really not
enjoyable for me now..

Current medical status: Recently diagnosed
as anaemic
Current medical treatment: Yasmin, iron

You could be irritated by the semen or
intercourse but you should visit your
gynecologist to check if there is
something else causing those burning
sensations in the vagina (infection,
tumor…).
