why does semen burn my vagina when they are in contact?

Question

when the inside of my vagina is in contact with semen, I feel a strong burning sensation and I become swollen. hello, thank you for the quick answer. I would say that I have a pain that persists for several hours after intercourse, but I am still sensitive 1 or 2 days after. When there is no contact everything is fine, I am mostly worried about when I will want to try to have children. I have no other symptoms.

Hello Madam, this is a frequent problem for some women, the pH and the composition of the semen, in addition to the irritation resulting from friction during sexual intercourse, are notably responsible. Does the irritation persist for a long time afterwards? Do you have any other symptoms such as discharge, unusual odor or anything else? Thanks for the feedback. I am reassured that the irritation is temporary, but not necessarily a problem, in fact it is quite common. I would be inclined, even if you don't feel the need, to try using a water-based lubricant like KY or other, to evaluate afterwards. I will be available if you have any further questions!
