    Question

    My girlfriend is complaining of a burning or stinging vagina after sex, also burning while attempting to pee. We don't use condoms. We've been faithful to each other for two years, virgins. I am uncircumcised but am conscientious of proper hygiene. SOS!

    Answer

    May be a urinary tract infection. She should see a doctor, increase how much water she drinks, cranberry juice is supposed to help, too, and make sure during sex there is enough lubrication -- or use KY jelly to avoid friction.
