    Itchy vagina?

    Hi guys,

    I'm a little embarrassed to ask this but why is it that after sex when I go pee my vagina is itchy? Like it has a burning sensation. It is really uncomfortable. Do we need to use a lubricant?

    You might be getting tiny little cuts from not using lube, causing irritation.

    Do you have any cottage cheese like discharge, any yellow or grey dischrge with a fishy odor?

      Or- are you using latex condoms? Perhaps you're allergic to latex?

        Could be the ph changes. Semen is alkaline whereas the vagina is acidic.

          ^ Unless they use condoms, then semen wouldn't be the source.

            Try using a sufficient amount of lubricant that is made for sex and is compatible with the condoms you use (if you are using condoms). If the symptoms disappear, you have your answer.
