Question:
Hi. I am 20 years old and have been having sex with my boyfriend for almost a year. Neither of us have ever had sex with anyone else, and we have been monogamous our entire relationship. When we first began having sex, everything was great. After a few months, I began to have difficulty producing lubricants, so we bagan using KY Jelly. It helped a lot, and we had no more problems. In the past couple months, however, I hve experienced a lot of pain and burning during sex. I feel intense burning when his penis enters me, and when he thrusts. It is also painful when he fingers me. Basically, any stimulation of my vagina causes burning. It is not painful when my boyfriend gives me oral sex, or fingers my clit, however. What are some possible causes of this burning I am experiencing? I have also been experiencing a lot of stress lately. Could that be a possible cause? All I'm really looking for is any reasons this could be happening, so I can seek medical help. Thank you very much for your time.

I'm sorry it's taken so long to respond to your concern. I hope that, by this time, you've seen your doctor about this. If not, I hope you do very soon. It's impossible to make any diagnosis from a website, nor am I a medical doctor who can diagnose you to begin with. It does appear, however that whatever is going on is in your vagina. It's never a good idea to take something like this for granted. Anything that isn't normal with the genitals should be checked out. Only an examination can determine what it might be. It could be anything from an infection to an allergic reaction; only your doctor can really tell through tests and observation.
I wish you well and hope that you resolve this very soon. Take care.
