Is Burning Urethra A Sign Of STD Infection?

Hi! I want to know if I have an STD but im not sure. There is burning half way in my Urethra and my urinary tracts is closed by this crust like substance that I have to pick off. Its Whitish Clear. On a different note. I had sex with a 48 year old that said she was 26. She did look 26 with the beer goggles that I had on. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello there,
a burning urethra is a sign of a urinary tract infection but not necessarily an STD. You need to get a swab wiped from the tip of your urethra and get it cultured for the organism. On identification you will be given a short course of medication targeted at the particular organism and you will be allright. For the time being,You need to drink plenty of fluids and have juices like cranberry to reduce your burning sensation . Also do not pick off the crust like substance as it may lead to you spreading the infection by touch on other body parts like the eyes.

Hope this helps, Please get tested soon. Please address any further queries to me. i will gladly answer them,

Hello.

You probably have urethritis coused by Clamidia hominis or other bacterias. It is very treatable nowdays. You should contact your doctor that will do a swab and give you most probably one day oral therapy.

Take care and use condom.
