Hello

Pain and burning at the vaginal opening post intercourse is a common problem suffered by the ones having rigorous intercourse in the absence of any lubricant,causing friction.The vaginal secretions secreted from the vagina during intercourse act as the natural lubricant,Hereafter preventing any soreness,redness or burning sensation in the vaginal area post intercourse.The scarcity or absence of the former leads to extreme dryness,redness,and discomfort post intercourse.
if I were you,I would get my gynaecologist examine this sensitive area,to look for any wear and tear of the mucosa of the vagina,and get it treated accordingly.
I would also recommend to you abstain from sex till the symptoms subside,and use a lubricant suggested by your gynaecologist the next time you have sex.

Thank you
Stay Healthy.
