Let's talk about an important topic - Burning after sex.

The painful burning after sex is a type of dyspareunia. Dyspareunia is genital pain that people can develop during, before, or after sex. The truth is, there are a lot of different things that could be causing a burning sensation during and after sex. If the burning started during penetration It could be because of;

- Lack of arousal
- Vaginal dryness
- Hormonal contraception ~ Childbirth and nursing
- Hormonal disorders
- Infection
- Vaginismus

If the burning started after sexual activity ended It could be because of,
- Lack of cleanup
- Douching or harsh vaginal hygiene products ~ Infections
- Semen allergy

Sex is supposed to be hot, but it isn't supposed to burn or hurt. Unless the burning was a one-off, it's probably best you talk to a doctor right away.
