Hello,
Stinging sensation and pain in the vagina during intercourse is commonly indicative of infection (PID, cervicitis, vaginitis, etc), injury, vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, chemicals, irritants, douching, UTI, lack of sexual experience, etc. You are suggested to avoid sex for a couple of days. Get clinically examined by a gynecologist, get blood tests, culture tests, urinalysis, etc done.
You will be treated according to the diagnosis made. In the meantime, take plenty of water, apply vaginal moisturizers for relief. Wear loose fitting cotton clothes, avoid the use of chemical soaps or douches. avoid aggressive sexual acts, always use condoms, get aroused before penetrative sex. You may be recommended to get STD tests done to stay on the safer side.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
