Stinging after sex / urinating
Me and my girlfriend have been sleeping together for a few months now. She is on the pill so we recently stopped using condoms. She experienced no pain what-so-ever when we were using condoms, not even the first time, but when we started without condoms she experienced stinging for around 10 seconds afterwards. I didn't ejaculate inside, so it can't be any sort of reaction to that. Recently she has started to experience a stinging after she has wee'd too, but not all the time.
Its unlikely that its an STD/STI because neither of us have had any other sexual partners. We thought maybe the pain after sex was down to fricition between skin - we did use lube but thought it was maybe still a problem?
Shes reluctant to go to the doctors unless shes sure somethings wrong...any ideas?

She isn't urinating more often.
She says the stinging isn't THAT painful, just uncomfortable.
Thanks

It sounds like cystitus. Note I am not a doctor but I used to get this all the time.
You can read about cystitus here: http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles/article.aspx?articleId=119§ionId=16786
I found that increasing the amount of water I drank, and going to the loo after sex helped a lot.
Do not ignore it if it gets bad and goes on for a long time. I ended up in hospital with a kidney infection.

Yeah she thinks its cistitis, and today she is drinking LOTS of water and cranberry juice at work.
But would this explain the stinging ONLY when we aren't using a condom?

it could be UTI (urinary tract infection), go to the doctors and get it checked out, it's better to be safe than sorry
I researched UTI and think its unlikely, she holds barely any of the symptoms. I believe (according to the website I just looked at) UTI causes pain DURING urination, she doesn't get that, she gets it after...
Anymore ideas?

Possibly - condom means there is less exposure to all the lovely skin bacteria you have on you. It could just be that she's only caught it now because of that, or it could be a yeast infection. If it's causing her discomfort though (the exact moment when she gets the pain while/after urinating is not that important), she should just go along to her GP.
Does no one think it the pain from urinating and the pain without a condom is unrelated? It was over a week after that the urinating pain started...and today its gone apparnetly, it only lasted a day.
Is it not possible that there is just more friction without a condom, and this is leaving abit of a stinging sensation afterwards?

Maybe but its very common for a woman to get cistitis

Anything's possible. People are just giving you options. Basically, the stinging shows that there is something wrong. If it only lasted a short time it's probably sorted itself out. If it hadn't, then she'd need to go to the doctor.
Getting cystitis (it's an itis not itus, guys
) from sex is very common, condom or not - it just means bacteria have wandered up the urethra.Is there any way to stop getting Cystitis then? It sounds like shes gonna get it all the time we are having sex without a condom...if its bacteria going up the urethra.
Well if she gets it again she needs to go to the doctors
Yeah it sounds like cystitis. However you can get it even if you have sex with a condom just because bacteria from the anus can get pushed up into the urinary tract thus an infection occurs.
Tell her to see a doctor, take the antiobiotics, drink frequently and not to hold her pee in when she needs to go! It's usually caused by frequent and vigorous sex so if you guys are at it a lot I'd slow down for a while, at least until she finishes her medication. Doesn't mean you have to stop having sex entirely but just be more careful - perhaps using condoms might help. There's no magic pill unfortuantely to prevent it so everytime she gets it she just has to go on antibiotics but yeah just be careful cause it can develop into something nasty like strep B!

Hmm I dunno, I sometimes experience pain like that which I'm pretty sure is just from friction - it's only just after sex and then goes away. For me, it is worse when there's no condom, I'm not sure why but I guess because there's even more friction. I have had cystitis once before and it's different to that. Unless the stinging lasts for days after sex, I wouldn't worry.

Some people are just more susceptible than others. If she keeps herself herself hydrated then it's less likely to happen. It could just have been a one off, please don't get yourself too worried about it all just yet!
There are some ways to prevent it, but first tell her to go to the doctor, she needs to give in a urine sample. If its cystitis, then she should get some antibiotics for it. If it doesn't help, get tested for STI's.
I got this from a website:
Preventing cystitis
1) If you make some simple changes in your daily routine, it may help to prevent some attacks of cystitis.
2) Drink at least one to two litres (three or four pints) of water every day.
Pass urine as soon as you need to, rather than trying to "hang on".6
3) Wipe from front to back after using the toilet.
4)Wipe your bottom cleanly after using the toilet to stop bacteria spreading to the urethra - consider using moist toilet paper.
5)Make sure your bladder is completely emptied.
6)Avoid perfumed soaps, vaginal deodorants, bubble baths, etc.
7)Wear cotton underwear and avoid wearing tight trousers as this can create a warm, moist, airless condition around your genitals in which bacteria may thrive.
8) Consider drinking cranberry juice or taking capsules of cranberry concentrate. But tell your GP if you plan to take cranberry supplements as they may interfere with other medications that you are taking.4,6,7
To help prevent cystitis related to sex:
1) Go and empty your bladder soon after sex.
2) Use a lubricant to reduce friction during sex.

Thanks for the advice, she went to the docs this morning and he thinks its probably all related to Cystitis. He took a urine sample and said there was apparently a small trace of blood cells in there (which im told can indicate Cystitis) and hes sent a sample off for testing...aswell as for testing for Chylamdia...fingers crossed
