Having Symptoms Like Painful Intercourse, Burning And Vaginal Redness. What Does These Symptoms Indicate?

Question: Symptoms are painful intercourse, burning, vaginal redness
Brief Answer:
answer is elaborative
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query
Burning and vaginal redness could be because of local infection like vaginitis, cervicitis etc.
Therefore, to my mind, a gynaecological examination can detect such issues by local examination
Your gynaecologist might advise blood tests like differential count, total leucocyte count; and possibly, if needed, vaginal swab testing as well to confirm the diagnosis
Till such time I would suggest to remain away from masturbation / sexual intercourse or any genital manipulation
Hope this helps
