Natalie, My husband and I experienced exactly what you described several months ago. My first visit to the doctor (my general practioner) produced nothing - she took vaginal cultures and said everything looked fine. A few weeks later, I went to my ob/gyn and he said I had an infection and gave me the typical 7 day yeast infection medicine to take care of it. After that, the burning after intercourse was gone. We suffered with it for several months though before I went to the doctor. Hopefully, your problem will be resolved quickly. Good luck! -Abby
