A member asked:

Burning sensation after sex. only every once in a while though. what could be the cause of this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be...: If the burning sensation is the vagina and you are also having other symptoms like itching and discharge it could be related to a vaginal infection( either a yeast or bacterial). Follow up with a gynecologist to get a direct exam and testing as necessary.
