A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

So I've had unprotected sex with my girlfriend about 2 weeks ago and i finished inside of her. She has not had sex before that for a while. After that night i had sex with her again but she said when i went all the way inside of her she had pain there. A week later she has symtoms of exsessive urinating and burning sensation in her Vagina and around her Urinary "exit"(not sure or the proper term). She also said that she has pain right below her stomache. I am wondering what it might be and if anyone had this before. We are really nervous. Could it be that she is pregnant, had a UTI or STD perhaps?

Thanks!

hey :)

its nothing to worry about, i had those exact same symptomes about a week ago and i went to the doctor. They took a smere test for STI's and it turns out i just had thrush. You can get treatment for it at the chemist, it was a huge relief because i thought i had an STI or i was pregnant or something.

jessica04 agony auntThe burning and itching sounds like a yeast infection, which can be aggravated by sex.

Regarding the pain, she should see her doctor. It could just be menstrual cramps, but she needs to be checked up on to make sure it isn't naything more serious. Really, none of us would be able to tell you anything about it that a doctor couldn't explain better after running a few tests.

Hope all goes well!

I had these same symptoms and I had a cyst growing on my ovary. These aren't uncommon. She should see her GP x

Tisha-1 agony auntWith all due respect, the ONLY way you'll know what is going on inside her body is if she is examined by a doctor. That is the sensible and responsible course of action.

Some possibilities are: ectopic pregnancy (this is life-threatening if not caught and treated), pelvic inflammatory disease (this could cause infertility and other chronic conditions), dyspareunia (pain with intercourse), endometriosis (that's where uterine tissue is growing inside the pelvic cavity), and interstitial cystitis.

So some are life-threatening, some are life-altering, some are damaging to her fertility. Why are you risking those things?

GO TO THE DOCTOR!

bobbles32 agony auntRe-reading the question it sounds EXACTLY like a UTI, it can make you feel like you need to pee all the time and when you do it sort of burns.

I heard somewhere that you can drink cranberry juice to prevent them, not sure if that's true, you'd have to read up on Urinary Tract Infections.

Hope i've helped a bit.

bobbles32 agony auntSounds like a UTI, the burning part anyway. I recommend her seeing a phsyician for some medicine asap, as they can get really intense if not treated.

The same thing happened to me when I was on Birth control and my bf finished inside me.

The pain could be pre-menstrual or just some kind of inflammation from being too rough or something.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

The pregnancy is not the reason we would be worried about, we'd welcome that so please don't tell as to be responsible because that wouldn't be a problem. We are both adults and know what we are doing. We are worried about other things.

k_c100 agony auntIt could be a variety of things, there is no point in speculating about what it could be. To put you at ease slightly, it does not sound like she is pregnant as these symptoms would be unusual for pregnancy.

Tell her to go to the doctors as soon as she can, there is no other way to find out what this problem is.

But you need to stop having unprotected sex! Why is your girlfriend not using birth control and why are you not using condoms? I find it so strange that you are reckless when you have sex by not using anything, then afterwards you get nervous about pregnancy? This is just general stupidity to do such a thing, you cannot live life doing whatever you want and then worrying afterwards! Start taking precautions and you will not be in this situation again!

She acutally could still be pregnant and have another problem which is causing the other symptoms! If she misses her period then she really needs to take a pregnancy test.

Get her to the doctors and then start being sensible with sex, and while she is at the doctors tell her to get some birth control too.

A female reader, Tisha-1 United States +, writes (5 March 2009):

Tisha-1 agony auntIt's a good idea for her to see her doctor. Pain is your body's way of saying "something's wrong here". Don't ignore it!

She should be seeing her gynecologist anyway, if she's sexually active. There's a vaccination to prevent some HPV (human papilloma virus) strains, she needs a PAP smear and a physical exam, urine cultures and possibly other tests to rule out all the possibilities.

So, to the doctor. If she doesn't have one, there's a tool on www.plannedparenthood.org that will locate one for you by zip code.

You should be checked out too, by the way, to make sure you don't have a hidden infection that may have led to her symptoms.

Take care!
