Experiencing pain and itching during intercourse is very common and highly treatable. These symptoms are often caused by a simple yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or vaginal dryness. Depending on the exact cause, treatments typically include: Antifungal medications (such as clotrimazole cream or oral fluconazole) for yeast infections. Antibiotics (such as metronidazole) if a bacterial infection is present. Water-based lubricants or vaginal moisturizers to reduce friction and dryness. Please rest assured that this is a manageable issue. I highly recommend visiting a healthcare provider for a quick evaluation so you can get the correct diagnosis and the right prescription for fast relief.
