I was wondering the same thing and I started my research, thats how i ended up on this website. I must thank everyone for their advise, the Cranberry Juice really works... you can try that and see if it helps, but you think the feeling is unbearable then you really should monitor it and if it does not improve, check the doctor.
This is what I plan to do. So far, with the juice intake, things really have gotten alot better. I havent been sexually active since though...sorta waiting to see how things clear up.
During my search I came across this website that gave me some of the symthoms that I was expereincing.... maybe it might help you. Another website even mentioned pain during intercourse......

If you think you have a UTI, it is important to see your doctor. Your doctor can tell if you have a UTI by testing a sample of your urine. Treatment with medicines to kill the infection will make it better, often in one or two days."
