Pain And Minor Bleeding During Urination Posted: 12-31-07 19:47pm
Yesterday I started experiencing very
sharp burning pains during urinating and
when I wipe there are sometimes a few
blood spots on the paper. I am also
feeling the need to go to the bathroom
more often than I usually do, although I
am not urinating much at all when i do go.
I am sexually active but I use a condom.
The last time I had sex was three days
ago. I have experienced this before and it
stopped but I am worried since it has
happened again. I was wondering what might
be wrong with me? Thnak you.

it's probably just a form of a uti or
bladder infection. if you are sexually
active you are more likely to get them
(even if you use a condom) just try to
pee and clean up well after sex. when you
pee after sex it kind of cleans out the
urinary tract. i would go to the doc soon
so you can get some antibiotics. make
sure you are very careful when having sex
while on antibiotics because it can reduce
the affects of hormonal birth control
(that's how i'm almost 4 months prego!
lol) let me know if everything works out
okay!

yup, i'd say it's definitely a uti. in
terms of sex, some doctors suggest not
having intercourse the whole time you're
on the antibiotics just to make sure the
infection clears. others say as long as
all the symptoms are gone then you're
fine. but check with your doctor in terms
of the antibiotic's effect on hormonal
birth control. some antibiotics don't even
affect it, but some do. your doctor or
pharmacist will be able to tell you if you
need to use back up contraception and for
how long
