burning vagina after sex

Hi all, I have occasionally experienced some intense burning sensations right after my husband and I have had sex, and sometimes even right after he's in. My thought process to this was, since he is uncircumcised, he has more bacteria trapped in/around his penis, and it is the bacteria that causes the horrible burning. It doesn't itch, just burns and hurts to even touch afterwards. My husband and I are both STD free, and very faithful.
Any help/ other ideas of what this "mystery burn" could be from?
Thanks!

ps - im not preggers - just thought this was more of an appropriate forum

This happens to me also
What I do is shower before sex and after sex, that usually helps me but if that doesn't work I think you should talk to a doctor

So I do have a yeast infection, and I'm taking monistat for it now - but why does my hubby keep giving me these? it's not like I'm getting 'the honeymooner's disease' bc we have sex often enough that my body should be used to him - but it is extremely frustrating bc this happens so often i tend to shy away from sex, due to the fear of him giving me one - and like I said, it happens and I begin to feel the burn as soon as we start - and it's like the burn never goes away and eventually turns into a yeast infection.

this sucks!

does anyone know of any type of preventative method other than eating tons of yogurt?

I have this occasionally it is from
1) Condoms - I have really bad reaction to the lubricant/ spermicide
2) Friction - a lot of fore play or previous sex can make you "raw" (for lack of a better word) and cause burning.

If it is from friction try different lubricants and it should help

I have a friend whos husband is uncircumsized and she has mentioned pain like this... She went to her doctor and he said that the fact that he is uncircumsized has nothing to do with it. You may have a yeast infection or even a UTI. My husband is circumsized and when I have a UTI or Yeast infection it does burn during intercourse......
