Hi, i am keerthi 24 yrs old. I have a boyfriend and we had sex lastnight. I was not interested in the sex, even though i agreed to have bcoz he was pleasing. we didn t have foreplay and he started to intercourse. I had a little pain while inserting, and he played rough. After the intercourse i went to washroom to wash my vagina, I had a severe burning sensation down and even my urine was in pale yellow colour. i returned home in the late night, i had severe burning sensation in the late night too with my urine colour again in pale yellow. i applied coconut oil at night and the burning sensation has reduced much. The urine is also colour less now.My vagina left lip is swollen, i don t have any rashes or itching sensation inside my vagina or its surroundings, but, i got some sores in my groin area. I usually get sores in my groin area after sex, i don t the reason behind it. i always get pain when we play rough or having sex when i am not interested. i had sex with him 5 months ago. i had sex only for 5-6 times till now and i give a lot of gap in between to do it again. my vagina is clean, but he has thick hair around his pennis, is the sores bcoz of his hair, or any other reason.?? is my vagina swollen bcoz of rough sex or bcoz of any other bacterial infection??? i dont understand. plz help me out.....

Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
When you are aroused before having sex, the vagina normally becomes looser, the skin swells and becomes thicker, and the vagina lengthens. That is your body's design to protect your vagina from trauma from intercourse and also prepares your body in the best way for sperm to swim inside you for your natural fertility.
If you are not aroused when you initiate sex, your vagina is narrower, dry and not as resilient, so it is not unusual to have chafing or pain, especially after the sex has finishes and you are not distracted. The vagina is a delicate part of your body, and sex especially if you are not lubricated well can scrape your vagina inside and out and also scrape your urethra (the opening where your urine comes out) which is why it burns when you urinate after sex. Also, if you are using a condom, the rim of the condom can irritate you and as you mentioned, so can pubic hair at the base of the penis. You literally can get bruised also from having intercourse especially if it is rough.
You had the right instinct to use coconut oil to soothe the area, but the time when you need the additonal lubrication is at penetration and during sex, not after.
So I suggest you and your partner use a lubricant before initiating sex if you are not fully aroused. If you are using a condom purchase a water-based lubricant, but you can even use the coconut oil if you are not using a condom. It may also help if your partner trims the hair at the base of his penis to reduce the chafing.
The main thing that concerns me about your story is the sores you get after sex. I have concerns that this may be herpes which is a type of sexually transmitted infection. An OBGYN doctor can test you for this if you can try to see them when you have the bumps so they may be properly examined and a culture can be done to check for infection. I would suggest both you and your partner see a doctor and get STD testing especially if you are having unprotected sex. Also if your burning with urination persists, that can be a sign of a urine infection which needs also to be evaluated and treated by a physician.
I hope I was able to answer your question and that my advice was helpful.
Best wishes, Dr. Brown
