Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Should resolve: Prevaleaf Soothe is a great over the counter vaginal soothing medication available online or on Amazon. Lidocaine jelly is available over the counter as well. Try using a vaginal lubricant before/ during sex next time and see if this avoids the problem.
