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?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
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.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
