Question Posted Tuesday September 11 2007, 11:16 pm
Hey, you answered my question before and told me that what i might have is a UTI. I was wondering if it makes the place where you pee from kind of swollen too? And if I go to see a gyno, will they tell my mom ive had sex, i turn 16 in a few weeks.
Symptoms of UTI or bladder infection are not easy to miss and include a strong urge to urinate that cannot be delayed which is followed by a sharp pain or burning sensation in the urethra when the urine is released. Most often very little urine is released and the urine that is released may be tinged with blood. The urge to urinate recurs quickly and soreness may occur in the lower abdomen, back, or sides.
This cycle may repeat itself frequently during the day or night--most people urinate about six times a day, when the need to urinate occurs more often a bladder infection should be suspected.
When bacteria enters the ureters and spread to the kidneys, symptoms such as back pain, chills, fever, nausea, and vomiting may occur, as well as the previous symptoms of lower urinary tract infection.
Proper diagnosis is vital since these symptoms can also be caused by other problems such as infections of the vagina or vulva. Only your physician can make the distinction and make a correct diagnosis.
If you go see a gyno, or just a regular doctor (like i did)...legally the doctor cannot tell your parents that you have been having sex because of they legally have to keep what is said between patient and doctor confidential. But you should NOT lie to your doctor about having sex, they need the truth of what has been happening to you in order to treat you correctly.
