writes:Lately, almost everytime I have sex with my boyfriend and to the bathroom afterward, I have really painfully burning when I urinate.The sex itself isn't painful. I do/I have trouble getting lubricated, but we usually take it really slow starting off so the lubrication isn't an issue. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me why this is happening and how I can get it to stop. Thanks! Reply to this Question

 FYI, if you don't already, you should always try and go to the bathroom and pee right after you have sex. The act of having sex can push bacteria up into your urethra. Going to pee as soon as you can after sex helps push that bacteria back out so it won't turn into a urinary tract infection (UTI).
But, as the other gals here said, you may have a UTI already (because you said it burns when you pee), and that is something that you really need to adress asap. UTIs don't often go away on their own, and if left untreated the infection can travel all the way up to your kidneys. Docs can prescribe a basic antibiotic to clear it up in a few days or so.
