Scarleteen

Ive been sexually active for two months. Ive expirianced pain during and after intercourse consistently but it has improved. But now I'm not sure if the pain is from a yeast infection or just the act itself. I took monistat 7 a week ago, and my symptoms have cleared. But during and after sex the entrance of my vagina stings/burns and swells. The area around the entrance remains tender the to touch after intercourse. It takes a day or so to return to normal. Is this kindof pain average? I am not overly concerned about an sti, we have consistently used condoms.

You may also want to check in with a healthcare provider if you think the pain is from a yeast infection, as they can confirm whether or not the one you had is still hanging around
