i went to the doctor yesterday because i thought i had a UTI. i peed in the cup and they tested it and said that i didnt have a UTI. so all i have to do is every day for a couple of days is go in the bath and soak with water in vinager and if it doesnt help then go back.
i feel like i have to pee alot and it like bothers me "down there" and its like all the symtoms of a UTI but its not it!
im only 13 too.
and im scared i have like a problem
do you know what it could be??

Did you give a sample early in the morning? Maybe after you drank water during the day the bacteria count was so low (because the urine was dilute) you do have an infection afterall.
I have never heard of soaking in vinegar water, I would think that would be irritating. Perhaps a baking soda bath would help more. I do know it feels like a UTI when some people use bubble bath or certain bathsoaps, so try not to use any soap in your water for a week or so and see if that helps.
I would suggest drinking a lot of water & cranberry juice. Also you might ask your parent to speak with the pharmacist about over the counter medicine for urinary discomfort. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]
