What Causes Burning Sensation In The Vagina During Intercourse?
I had the leep procedure to cut a layer of my cervix about 6 weeks ago I bleed for a month light which the gyno said was normal. after sex i have burning and my vagina is not the same very dry and now have some swelling, we it go back to normal in time
There are few possible causes but from your symptoms, it looks like vaginal non-std infections such as vulvovaginitis, It may be caused by chafing or friction rub which occurred after intercourse or the second possibility is of infection can be caused by bacteria or yeast.
The other reason can be an allergic reaction to soaps, detergents, shower gel and condoms etc. I suggest you follow up with your gynecologist as you need to get a pelvic swab sample done for the cervical discharge to rule out any bacterial or fungal infection.
Apply cold compresses and wear cotton undergarments. Oral anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful but they should be taken after a prescription from your doctor. Till that time, follow these simple lifestyle measures. Avoid using perfumed soaps and sanitary napkins, bubble baths and toiletries, change the undergarment daily, wash it in hot water and double rinse.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
