Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 20 years old and have severe pain during sex. It feels like someone has put a paper in my vagina. It will take a very long time before it stops.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Your symptoms are suggestive of vaginitis, which mainly occurs due to fungal infection. Keep the area dry, drink plenty of warm water, and have a soft diet. I suggest you use antifungal medicines and creams.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
