Had Antibiotic For UTI. Hurt During Intercourse And Penetration. Frequent Urination And Headache. Am I Pregnant?
i was on an antibiotic for an UTI and finished about two weeks ago. went to the doctor couple days after i finished the medicine. the uti was gone. went home and had intercourse with my boyfriend and it hurt so bad we had to stop. its like that every time we have intercourse now. the first time it happened i had the burning pain like a uti but that was the only time. the pain i have is during penetration. also i am tired all the time, have a hard time staying awake, i have headaches almost everyday, i have frequent urination, and heart burn, back pain. still have the burning sometimes (after urination), i get really pissy over little things. im on the shot. could i be pregnant or is it something else?

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Following urinary infection one can also have pelvic infection which can cause the painful intercourse. I suggest you discuss this issue with your doctor and get a pelvic ultrasound to rule out pelvic inflammatory disease. A low grade infection can persist and cause the feeling of tiredness, headache, etc. The pelvic ultrasound will also confirm or exclude pregnancy.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing you an early recovery.
