What Causes Burning Sensation In The Vagina?
I am 54 years old and, I guess, going through menopause. Two months ago I used a douche and noticed a burning sensation while using it. Since then, every time I have sex with my husband, from the moment he penetrates, I feel a burning, stinging sensation inside me. Is this something to worry about?

Hi,
You are very right. With menopause one common problems is vaginal dryness and this may lead to pain during intercourse. This is quite manageable. So I think you should talk to your gynecologist.
She would confirm it and would write treatment for you. Mostly topical estrogen are used and they work very well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
