What Causes Burning In Vagina After Having An Intercourse?
Question: Hi...my vagina area burns now after I had sex yesterday ...its in my hair area not near the opening of the vagina. Could it be friction burn there's no other symptoms just burning sensation
Brief Answer:
Friction rub likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The burning is due to the friction rub due to vigorous sex. Wash the area with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. XXXXXXX it dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area or use a thin layer of Vaseline. Creams containing ceramides may be helpful but avoid use of any creams containing propylene glycol, lactic acid, urea or salicylic acid.
This is likely to improve in next 5-7 days.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
