Hello,
thanks for using health care magic
There are three possibilities to your problem;
i. vaginal candidiasis:
presents with cottage cheese whitish or creamy white discharges. May be associated with itch or soreness or pains when urinating. Diagnosis is made by doing a vaginal swab for analysis in the lab. Treatment is simple with anti yeast drugs such as fluconazole or clotrimazole or nystatine ovules.
ii. allergy to latex condoms or to semen of your partner.
If you both use latex, it might be an allergy to the latex. the diagnosis is made by not using latex condom to see if the symptoms will appear. However, this is a dangerous to do if you both have not been screened for STDs. Also, if you both do not use condoms you could try to use one and see if symptoms do not occur. If they don't then you are allergic to your partners semen though its a rare situation.
iii. traumatic sex:
if your partner is very rough and if you both have intercourse without adequate stimulation for lubrication, then you could sustain small wounds that will produce the soreness. This coould be prevented by being less rough and by having intercourse only after sufficient lubrification.
It will be necessary to see you doctor for appropriate tests, diagnosis and treatment.
Best regards and stay blessed.
