What Causes Burning Sensation In The Vagina During Intercourse?
Hi!! I just recently started to have intercorse with my fiancé and I ve noticed what looks to be friction burn near my vagninal area. I don t have any symptoms of herpes!! It s just tender and stings when I urine. We both were checked when we started dating. How can I speed up the process of healing and does it sound like friction burn for an STD

Hello,
One of the most common causes of painful sex in women is vulvodynia, defined as discomfort or burning pain in the vulvar area with no obvious cause, such as an infection, cancer, or neurologic disorder like herpes or spinal nerve compression. This common cause of vaginal pain is frequently misdiagnosed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
