A burning sensation in the vagina can be an uncomfortable and concerning symptom. It may be caused by infections such as yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, or sexually transmitted infections. Hormonal changes, particularly during menopause, can also contribute to this issue. In addition, irritants like soaps, douches, or tight clothing can cause similar discomfort. If the burning sensation persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
