Question Posted Thursday September 18 2008, 7:17 pm
i just had sex for the first time a few days ago (and have had it 2 more times since).
now it feels like every 10 minutes or so i have that feeling where i have to urinate really badly. when i do go, it burns really bad and hardly anything comes out. then it goes away and it'll come back like 10 minutes later.
idk if this is normal cause the only thing i can think of is the fact that i just lost my virginity.
anything?

You should go to the doctor, all they do is make you piss in a cup, then they'll tell you what it is and give you meds. I also suggest iodine pills to ease the pain, and cranberry pills/juice. [ MADISAN's advice column | Ask MADISAN A Question ]

They do make over the counter medications
for it, but they rarely work for long. You
will need an antibiotic to help cure it, and
make it stay away.
I suggest you go to a doctor. You will pee
in a cup and get an antibiotic. It is VERY
COMMON for girls to get a UTI.
Sex can bring one on, but it is by no means
the ONLY cause. So don't feel that telling mom
or seeing a doctor will announce to all that you are having sex. That just isn't true. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
ImFakingHotPink answered Thursday September 18 2008, 9:56 pm: This can be a symptom of a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) or a Yeast Infection. I would say it is a UTI though because they can SOMETIMES be triggered by sex. Usually UTI's are caused by bacteria however, every time I have one is because I held my pee for too long (over an hour..bad!). I suggest you drink tons of water and cranberry juice for the next few days which can help take it away. If it is not gone by then I suggest you go see a doctor because if it is caused by bacteria then it can cause problems. [ ImFakingHotPink's advice column | Ask ImFakingHotPink A Question ]
