Hi doctor,

I am currently pregnant and still used to have sex with my husband. After sex, there is a burning sensation in my vagina that last for minutes to hours. The thing is, it only happens after he ejaculates inside me. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for choosing this platform.

  • There is a possibility that due to inadequate lubrication there occurs local vaginal abrasions. After ejaculation the abrasions in vagina start burning and itching till you clean yourself up.
  • Secondly, there is a possibility of a likely urethral infection which your husband may be harboring and causing transference of bacteria into your vagina. So, he should be tested with a urethral swab test for culture to rule out any such infection.
  • Thirdly, to prevent such episodes, you may use adequate lubrication and the best would be to have protected intercourse.
