Burning during intercourse...?
Question:
I have an intense burning sensation upon penetration, whether it is through traditional intercourse or alternative stimulation. The burning persists even though I am still able to reach orgasm and continues for a short time after sex has ended.
I have noticed for quite some time that my body has been producing very little natural lube and even though I have used a variety of lubricants, nothing seems to help completely.
What do you think the problem could be? I know I need to see a doctor, but want some info from every day people like myself. Thank you in advance for your help.
Answers:
You might have a low grade infection that is causing irritation. You might not notice any discomfort until the irritated tissue is stretched.
If that's the case, your doc should be able to prescribe something to clear it up.
Sounds like it's probably just a lubrication issue - are you using enough of the lubricants that you've tried out? Don't be stingy with it.
Also, there might be some irritation from having sex without enough lubricant before - maybe give yourself a chance to heal for a few days before having sex again and then use plenty of lube.
Definitely talk to your dr too!
Women can go through dry patches in a very literal sense. There are some viginal creams that you can get from the doctor that can help this.
On a personal note, I get this at certain times of the months. We've found that using a lubricated condom (I'm on the pill) makes it comfortable. If you are getting this constantly, then go see the doctor for some cream.
I have the same problem sometimes, I use lube or engage in extra forplay.
The pain is called vulvodynia. That doesn't tell you what causes the pain or how to treat it, it just gives the pain a name.
When you see your ob/gyn, you should ask him/her to check for and rule out Bacterial Vaginosis and Vulvar Vestibulitis. These are not considered STDs.
okay well you sound like you know its not an STD..so thats a good thing..but there still is a small chance it could be..i had the same problem a few weeks ago..but the burning for me didnt last the whole time during intercourse..it was just really bad during the beggining...i went to the obgyn and they was like well i think its just an issue of you not being ready...not enough lubrication...but i insisted on an STD test and came back i had trichomonasis and chlamydia..& i just had an STD test in march and havent had sex with anyone since then..they said that the chlamydia must have not showed up and i could have got the trich from a pool or somethin..which can happen but its unlikely..in my case..it did happen...so hopefully your problem is just you are not ''ready''...but you really should get checked out since there is still a small chance!
