Specializes in Family Medicine

Burning where?: At the urethra (where your pee comes out), in your vagina? Is it a lubrication issue so that you have irritated vagina after sex? Can be trauma to urethra after sex? Any products/toys/condoms used that you could have a sensitivity to them? Not all burning is STD. Do you wash or douche after sex? Can be irritation from what you are washing/douching with? Lost of things on the list here. Dr R
