Yeah yeah, another sex problem.

Anyway, I'm asking in the Ladies Lounge because you might have experienced this before.

During sex and after sex (for a little while), I get a burning sensation and it makes sex pretty uncomfortable. It's gotten to the point where sex pretty much feels like a task (in the rare event nwlinkvxd and I can actually do the deed), but I WANT to enjoy it- that's why I still attempt.

What could this be? We've used lube and I still sometimes get the burning sensation. sigh...

Are you using condoms? If so you could have an allergy to whatever its made out of....I had that problem once with a particular latex kind, it had never happened before,, then we changed brands and it still happened (I of course went to the doctor during this time to make sure it wasnt a yeast or some other type of infection). I was also having problems with certain types of vibrators I had (the latexy rubber kind) The doctor suggested we switch to a non latex condom and the problem went away. I had to get rid of some of my favorite "toys" as well.....

i still miss them

I also recommend trying different lubricants until you find one that helps you feel more comfortable.

My mind would have immediately gone to an STD or infection, since you've mentioned that you are on the pill, I don't think you've mentioned condoms.

Painful Burning during sex
There are several possible conditions that might be causing your symptoms. Some of them follow:


1. Yeast infection
The typical symptoms are:


redness, itching and sometimes burning during urination
pain during intercourse
white, cheesy discharge (usually but not always present)

Yeast infections can usually be treated with a course of over-the-counter topical antifungal medication.

2. Contact dermatitis

You might have this condition if you have recently come into contact for the first time with the following:

a cream or jelly spermicide
a feminine hygiene deodorant or douche
a scented product such as sanitary napkins or tampons
latex condoms
colored or scented toilet tissue
certain soaps, detergents or fabric softeners

A short investigation should do the trick, and all you need to do to end the symptoms is discontinue contact with the irritant.

3. Lack of lubrication

Your discomfort might be caused by something simple, like needing more lubricant during intercourse. Try one of the artificial lubricants on the market such as K-Y Jelly or Astroglide.

4. Urinary tract irritation or infection

Sometimes women who are having frequent sex get a UTI usually referred to as "honeymoon cystitis." It is an infection or irritation of the urethra or the bladder that can cause painful burning when you urinate. Emptying the bladder before and after sex, and drinking lots of fluids, can help stave off this irritation.


More on Burning during sex
TeenHealthFX is concerned about your burning sensation after sex, and the fact that you have unprotected sex with your boyfriend. We suggest that you go to see your doctor as soon as possible. Many different things, including an irritation, a sexually transmitted disease, such as Chlamydia or Genital Herpes could cause this burning sensation. If not taken care of properly, this burning can cause damage to yourself and your boyfriend.

Regardless of what the burning is being caused by, TeenHealthFX thinks it is a good idea for you not have sex until you check with your doctor. If this is an STD, it is important that you don’t spread it to your partner. Before you see your doctor think about any other possible pain or discomfort you may be having such as vaginal discharge or abdominal pain, this will help the doctor to determine more accurately what might be causing you to feel this persistent burning.


(I beleive in the health forum, you also mentioned that you were having abdominal pain, this might be related to that)

Get to your dcvtor sooner rather than later.

Argh, I'm pretty sure it's not a yeast infection because although I do have some discharge, I do not itch or burn down there. Same for the urinary infection. I have only had one partner (and I am his only partner, as well) so STDs are ruled out. I'm thinking it's a lack of lubrication, even if we do use lube.

What lube do you all recommend?

lurkette

Could be bacterial vaginosis - it's often asymptomatic except for pain during sex.

If it's a lube issue, we use ID glide, which we got from blowfish or adam and eve or some such place.

Ok..you're on the pill and does he come inside you or does he wear a condom?
Sometimes when my fiance comes inside it burns. . . condoms tend to make me burn, too.
It's nothing to worry about tho. It just happens sometimes. I use a great lube. stays on forever. Its called pjur eros.
I hope i helped a bit ?

flamingpeach

I have the same problem. My doctor told me the same thing Kiwigirl's told her. Lots of "lube" and "fooling around" first.

once i burned from sex and it was the spermicide on the condom!!!

but seriously if you experience burning....it might be the latex on the condom....might wanna switch brands or look into what ingredients were on it...(spermicide wise).

latex allergies can be serious. my mom's is life-threatening, she cannot even touch latex things anymore, so just be careful. hope you can get the prob fixed, if it gets worse, might wanna see a gyno....
