I am 16 years old, have been sexually active with the same partener for almost 2 years and never had troubles till tonight when i went to pee and had bad pain and burning sensations throughout my urethra, it has never happened before and did not just slowly come on, it was sudden. Please help me, it hurts and i cant stop peeing but it is just a tiny bit everytime, about every 5 minutes and the urine is clear. Please help me, it is very very uncomfortablr and hurts

Hi there.

Thanks for writing in.

You might be having a urinary tract infection... as evident by your symptoms like burning urination and increased frequency of urination.

Any other suggestive symptoms like fever, nausea, vomiting,backache, or lower abdominal pain.

For confirmation of the diagnosis as well as the choice of antibiotics, you will have to get a urine routine and culture and sensitivity done...So please visit your doctor regarding that.

In the meantime, drink plenty of water to flush out the toxins.
Periodic regular emptying of bladder is a must...even when you get better.. do pee every 3-4 hours, to ensure clean bladder.
Avoid intercourse for 1 or 2 weeks.
A glass or 2 of cranberry juice might help.

You most probably do need to take a course of antibiotics ...do consult your physician.

Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
