I'm having a bit of an issue. After having sex, like a day or two later, I start feeling this burning sensation down there. It's pretty uncomfortable. Can you help me understand what might be causing this and any advice on what I can do to feel better?

I had laparoscopic surgery 25 days ago to remove a cyst from my left ovary and I'm on a 3-month course of medication. The wounds have healed and I don't have any pain now. Since I'm a dance student, I really need to get back to practice when would it be safe for me to start dancing again?

You may resume dance 4‚Äì6 weeks after laparoscopic cyst surgery, but get clearance from your surgeon first. Avoid high-impact moves early on.
