Gonorrhea Or Uti - Burning sensation while urinating Posted: 10-07-07 09:15am
I am a 17 year old male who has become
sexually active in the last 4 months. I
have only had one partner during this
time, but we have had unprotected sex.
Shortly after our first time I noticed a
mild burning sensation while I was
urinating. The discomfort was not severe
so I did not think anything of it. The
sensation was intermittent: I would have
pain for a time, then for a week I would
feel nothing.
However, in the last two weeks my symptoms
have intensified, and I have developed new
ones. The burning sensation has worsened,
and I have trouble beginning to pee. In
between urination or ejaculation I have a
mild, yet irritating burning pain in my
urethra which does not go away for a
while. My other symptoms include
infrequent pain in the lower abdomen, dull
pain in my left testicle, increased
frequency of urination, and occasional
chills. I have had no discharge from my
penis during this time.
I have researched the possible causes on
the internet, but I am not sure of the
quality of the information. I am hoping
that it is a simple UTI that can be
treated easily, but I am hesitant to
assume that considering the recent sexual
activity.
Please respond and give me your thoughts
on my problem. Thank You
Peter Y.

Sounds Like a Uti Posted: 11-04-07 23:06pm
all your symptoms point to a
UTI...however, many genital health
problems have the same symptoms so it can
be hard to say. BUT, UTI's can easily be
tested at the doctors office, just a
simple urine sample, wont take long and
harmless. If you cant afford to go to a
doctor, try going to a local drugstore,
CVS, Walgreens etc...whatever is local,
and look for AZO urinary tract infection
Test Strips...its about 10-12$. If you do
have a UTI, you need to be treated asap.
Letting an infection go untreated for a
long period of time can cause serious
damage for the future. You will be
prescribed antibiotics, which the
infection will go away in a matter of 2
days, but usually you are required to take
medication for an entire week...just make
sure you do what the doctor says. BOTTOM
LINE, I recommend you seek medical
attention immediately.
