Why do I have a burning sensation after sex and urination?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had sex with my husband on the fourth day of my period. One day, while passing urine, in my vagin, there was a burning sensation, and it started paining in the abdominal area below the stomach on the right and left sides. After that, the next day, I had no pain. After that, again the next day, I had sex with my husband, then again it started paining and burning during urination. In short, there is a burning sensation while urinating and a persistent burning sensation after urination. Yesterday, we did not have sex, but in the morning since 6 a.m. I am having a burning sensation in my vagina, which is not at all getting better. What can be the cause of this? And what should I do?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Most probably, the burning sensation after urinating is because of a UTI (urinary tract infection). So, get a urine examination done. Investigations to be done include a urine routine and a urine culture and sensitivity. Kindly drink plenty of oral fluids. Follow up with the report.
