A yeast infection is not pleasant at the best of times. It can make you lose self respect and cause extreme embarrassment and anxiety.
Sexual Activity
And if that’s not enough this infection can impact you sex life as well.
If you suffer burning intercourse then this may well be an indication of a yeast infection.
By itself this symptom isn’t enough to diagnose a yeast infection but it is one of the items on the checklist that can confirm you have the condition.
Why Does it Hurt
A vaginal yeast infection can actually dry up the skin of the vagina so much so that small cracks in the skin will start to appear.
These cracks will be very painful.
In addition the whole area will be more sensitised, red and inflamed because of the infection.
Burning during intercourse will be because of the irritation of the vagina caused by the penis.
