Painful Sex

So, for the last month sex (penetrative or not) and riding a bicycle have been very uncomfortable. I get a burning sensation around the opening of my urethra. Yes, we use plenty of lube. A bit ago, I realized I had a yeast infection, but after treating the yeast infection, the burning symptom continues. I had an STD test done in June, which showed I didn't have anything.

I second this, especially since there was mention of burning near the urethra... could be urethritis (infection of the urethra), which is a type of UTI.

oof--I know the burning feeling. I had that when I had kidney infections (I don' thtink you do, you'd know it if you did--ow!) try taking Uristat. IT stops the burning and turns your pee a funcky orange colour :shock: Def. get it checked out, though

Drink some unfiltered 100% cranberry juice and get tested for that UTI. The farther you let it go, the worse it'll feel. trust me. especially about the cranberry juice - it'll kill a lot of bacteria in there and flush it through, bringing on sweet, sweet relief.

i found sex to be uncomfortable during pregnancy, so if you have no infections it may just be from being pregnant. i would check for a UTI though bc it will only get more painful if left untreated.

I have been having some pain after sex as well. Not in the inside or anything, just the whole outter area, lips and clit, sorry maybe that was TMI. After sex, my vagina is sooo swollen that is become extremely painful until it "goes down"...lol. I have tried putting ice packs on it, that does help some, the swelling goes down faster, and I lay down for a while. Its never a problem during sex, just after. I think it's the blood rushing down there or something.
