Can Lack Of Enough Lubrication Cause Stinging Discomfort During Intercourse?
I am 19, my husband is 21. This just started about a week ago.. when He enters my vagina there is a stinging discomfort.. it goes away after a couple minutes though. I just treated what I thought to be a yeast infection. And I have been taking rephresh. Could this stinging be from not being lubricated enough??

It is definitely possible that a lack of lubrication can cause the symptoms that you describe. An easy way to find out is to use a simple lubricant such as KY Jelly which is available at any pharmacy. If this helps, then you know what is causing the problem. If this does not help, you might want to see your doctor to check if there is a yeast infection or something else causing the problem.
