“I am 17 years old and have had the same sex partner for a year and lately there has been a burning feeling in my vagina when I have sex? Any idea what it is or could be?”

Anytime you have changes in your body that are causing pain or discomfort, you need to see your health care provider. This may be something as simple as a yeast or bacterial infection or a more serious sexually transmitted infection. Once you have more information on why you are experiencing this burning, you then need to have a discussion with your provider on how to protect yourself and your partner.
