    Question

    hi, i have been sexually active for the past 2 years and have been tested for STDs but the results were negative. but for the past 2 months or so i have a lot of pain with sex. it almost feels raw and the area gets swollen which lasts for a couple days. i have tried using more lube but it burns. what could cause this?

    Answer

    It sounds like you may have a vaginal infection that is not sexually transmitted. You should go to your doctor and let them check you out.
