Severe Vaginal burning after sex.

For four years now, I've been having an issue with vaginal burning after sex.  I've been to my doctor countless times about it and she isn't doing much.  After having a pap smear done, it came out that I had bacterial vaginosis.  After taking the gel insert meds for the five or six days, the intense discharge smell went away.  But about a week after that I went to visit my boyfriend (he is clean) and about the day after we had sex the first time over that visit, the burning started again.

Overview
- I have sex with my boyfriend and urinate right away afterwards.  The next day I'll eat a few cranberry tablets.  (The juice is too acidic for my system.)

- I don't have a UTI.  (I've gone through that test about ten times now.)  This is not vulva burning or urinary tract burning.  However, it burns in the vaginal area after I urinate and feels as though it continues to the inside of my vagina.  It is extremely painful.  Pressure and heat sometimes helps.

- It only happenes after I have sex.  The extreme milking that happenes during sex produces a huge amount of discharge from my vagina.  I asked my boyfriend if that was normal and he said that it was.  (The past partners he had been with were no different.)

- I have a feeling it has something to do with the high constant amount of discharge I've had all of my life.  Ever since I was little the high amount of discharge was normal.  But now, I've become alergic to it somehow.

I'm 20 years old and can't have a normal sex life with my partner.  My doctor tells me to practice abstinence.  Why should I do that?

Help!  Thanks. :)

My husband and I have faced the same problem for 3 years.  It turns out is was because of his circumcision.  Removing the foreskin removes the natural lubrication that men are meant to have.  He is restoring now by using manual stretching techniques.  Look up the book "Sex the way nature intended it."  It may be your answer.

I started to have sex last year, and it never stung. Then one time I got thrush, got some cream and it cleared up. But now since I had thrush, I go to have sex and it stings before I fully get the penis in, and then after sex it burns like hell, and I have a lot of discharge and like leak. I'll go to the toilet and it'll sting but about 15 minutes after it feels fine, until I have sex again. I get so upset and fustrated over it, I don't know what it is, I haven't been to see the doctor, but I'm extremely considering it, it's driving me mental, but luckily my boyfriend isn't bothered if we have sex or not. I just want to get RID. Does anyone know what this could be, and could help?!

The past couple of weeks I have been sleeping with my boyfriend quite regulary and the past week now when i have been doing the toilet, afterwards it hurts me its like a burning, inside my vagina hurts and I can also feel slight pain in my lower abdomen. This has never happened with previous partners. When its building up to me needing a pee I'm like 'oh no' because I hate the pain afterwards. I'm trying to get appointments for the doctor but need advice please help!

Hello all!
I, as well as many others, have this problem too. Three months ago, I had my son Gabriel. I have been with the same partner for nearly a year now (It'll be a year on January 5), and we have both been tested for STD's. We both came out clean. Well, my fiance and I had laid off of having intercourse for about a week (give or take). For the first time in a week(s), we had intercourse yesterday. And afterwards, I got an intense burning sensation. It feels like it's inside, but I can't really tell if it's inside of my vagina or just the opening. It happened AGAIN tonight. This hasn't happened to me before, aside from yesterday. I don't know what it could be. As I said above, we've both been tested for STD's and we both came out clean. It can't be a UTI, because when I get a UTI, my kidneys hurt real bad (which they don't now) and thats the only symptom I get. And it can't be a yeast infection, because there's no itching, smell, or discharge. It just happens after intercourse, especially after I urinate afterwards. Please help!
