A member asked:
Female. 20. had a yeast infection about a week ago-finally gone. during intercourse with my partner, there's still a bit of discomfort-raw sensation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: having a bad yeast infection can cause inflammation to the vaginal tissue, which can make it very fragile. It might take longer than a full week to recover and have comfortable intercourse. If you have to have intercourse, consider using a good lubricant to avoid further damage to your vaginal tissue.
