Question burning

My boyfriend & I have been having sex for the past 6 months. In the beginning everything was perfectly fine, but a couple months ago I started experiencing pain, redness and burning. During sex, everything is fine but afterwards these things occur. And this only happens if we have intercourse. Since i'm on birth control, we do not regularly use condoms. But, when we do, I don't experience these problems. Also, we used ky jelly (i think this brand or astroglide?) and we think it started happening sometime after this. Could it have caused a problem?

I looked up semen allergies online and these are some of the symptoms of it, but I really have no idea. Could it be a yeast or bladder infection or even an std? My boyfriend & I have talked about this and really don't think it could be an std. I have only been with one other person & have been tested at my gyno visits. (the same with my boyfriend now- hes only had 2 other partners who were checked) however, this past partner cheated on me, although I'm not sure if he had intercorse with someone else. But, if it was and std wouldn't I experience these problems in the beginning with my partner now and my doctor would have found it, right? (sorry if this isn't enough info) please help!!

Question Re: burning

firstof all, you shuld both get tested asap, altough i doubt that it is an STD, you never know and it is better to be safe
you might have gotten trsterd, but some STD;s take months or years to show up, so get tested again! both of you.

alos, don;t use astroglide, ky is ok, but not astroglide, it made me burn and hurt for a while, mty friend too
a
t hrird, it sounds tome like it is probably a mild yeast infection, i has the same exact problem last year with my new boyfrined, after we stopped using condoms, i was buring and red after sex, and got klittle cuts inside ouch!
i was scared it was an std too, but turns out i just had a weird ph, becaUse of his sperm and got a little yeast infection that made me itchy and suseptable to cuts and rednes,
it was REALLY painful, but i just stopped having sex for a week or so, it;s hard but you have toom
and then made sure to wash with water only after sex, NO SOAp or DOUCHE OR ASTROGLIDE that will mess up the pH even more, adn cause itvhing and soreness,
spream messes up the PH of your vainga, which can cause yeast groth, and make it sore, tear easily and itchy, but it won;t always be like that, just take a little break and be goo about what you use to clean, ect....
but get tested anyways, just to be safe!
also, a yeast infection won;t necssaily sow up on a test, they didnt now what i had, they thought it was an std for a long time, and finally, after every test was negative, they just treated me for a yeast infection even though the lab said i did;t have one, and it went away, and has never come back!
good luc!

Re: burning

You probably have either a yeast infection of bacterial vaginitis, it is hard to tell the difference between the two. If you go to the doctor they can tell you which one it is. Both can be cured by taking a few pills. Don't wait though the symptoms will only worsen. The medication worked miracles for me!!!
