Aa
I'm very worried and I need help.
I'm almost 17 and I just recently started having sex with my boyfriend. We've been safe and have been using condoms but I am afraid to tell my mom because I think that she would be very dissappointed in me. Within the last day when I urinate it burns and there has been small amounts of blood. I also feel like I have to constantly go to the bathroom, although I do drink a lot of water throughout the day. I am also worried that there could be a possibility that I am pregnant because of this factor that something is wrong. Am I paraniod? someone please help
thank you so much for the reply!!!! I've made an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow so hopefully I can get this cleared up
It sounds like an UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). Women can get them after having sex because bacteria is pushed up into the urethra. That is the reason they say women should urinate after sex to help flush out any bacteria that might of got in there. Anyways they are not always from sex. But, you have to go to the doctor for an antibiotic. Noting major just pee in a cup and that is it. But, if you let go and don't go to the doctor it could reach the kidneys which isn't good.
