If the burning sensations last only a few hours or a day after having
sex, it could simply be that she is not lubricated enough. Not enough
lubrication can make the vagina and surroundings feel "raw" and you will
feel burning during urination when the urine touches raw skin. Try
using a generous amount of a good lubricant (astroglide or KY liquid)
and see what happens.
