A member asked:

Can my birth control making my vagina burn after sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vaginal product,yes: If it is a vaginal contraceptive or spermicidal condom, yes. Sometimes burning results post sex due to semen deposit. Semen is alkaline and the vagina is mildly acidic which can a acid base reaction.
