Dr. Stuart Winkler answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Nephrology & Dialysis

Vaginal irritation: Pain around the vagina with sex can be due to infections, cysts, allergies and even allergies to sperm. You should have a culture of the area and a good pelvic exam to make sure there is no other problem.
