What Causes Burning Sensation In Vagina During Intercourse?
Hello, I ve been feeling this burning sensation during sex and even sometimes out of the blue. I am sexually active, but we have never had unprotected sex. I ve only been with 1 person and he is healthy. The only trouble I ve had is a UTI. I don t understand what s wrong?
You seem to be suffering from Vaginitis. If I was your treating physician I would perform a vaginal swab culture and urine culture first of all to reach the confirm diagnosis and its type.....it may be either of three ( bacterial, fungal or trichomoniasis). then my treatment plan would be according to the culture reports. The most common is fungal infection and for that I would recommend an oral course of tab. Fluconazole once daily
or vaginal clotrimazole cream. I would strongly recommend that you consult a gynecologist for this problem as this medicine can have side effects and the dosage has to be monitored carefully.
Meanwhile take extra care of hygiene of genital area, wear cotton undergarments and frequents changing of tampons.
I hope this answers your query. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns. Wishing you good health.
