    Question

    My vagina is a bit swollen and inflamed. It burns when i pee because i think my vagina is raw. What can i do to fix this problem?

    Answer

    Warm baths with a little baking soda (1/4 cup) added may help, and in the future, condoms with adequate lubrication, and stopping if sex hurts - I cannot really help without knowing what is causing this. If it does not resolve in a couple of days, please see a doctor.
