What causes vaginal burning during sexual intercourse?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am an 18 year old female. Me and my boyfriend have been trying to have sex, but whenever we do, my vagina burns, and we cannot continue. Is there a way for this problem to be solved? We have been in a relationship for two years, and I am terrified it will affect our relationship.

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

This condition is called vaginismus. When you get stressed and anxious during intercourse, the pelvic muscles get contracted, and intercourse becomes difficult and painful. So, keep your body and mind relaxed while having intercourse. Do kegel's exercise two to three times a day. It will help you to relax your pelvic muscles. Also, use water-based lubricants while having intercourse. It will help you to have smooth and less painful intercourse.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
