Yes, it could be that you have an allergic reaction to latex. Or it could be that in spite of using a condom, you've been exposed to an infectious agent. Or it could be that you've developed a yeast infection or urinary tract infection. The only way to know for sure is to go to your nearest women's clinic for an exam.
Also: be sure never to have penis-vagina sex without adequate lubrication because this can cause irritation to those delicate tissues. And don't have vigorous p-v sex for prolonged periods of time for the same reason. In particular, these can result in irrirations to the urethra (the opening through which urine leaves the body), causing infection. The next time it begins to hurt: STOP immediately. Dr. J
