Sometimes an std and a uti can have the same symptoms. Uti's usually burn when you urinate and sometimes there's pressure at the bottom of the abdomen, like you need to go pee, but when you go there's really nothing that comes out.

I think you should get her to the dr and have her checked out. Either way, she needs to be treated with antibiotics. Good luck!

Sounds like she is getting screwed in more ways that one. Too bad she gave it up to a pos like that. Now she will probably have a child with this pos and you will be stuck raising it. Sounds like a jerry springer program in the making.

Do you see anything positive about your daughter's situation. I don't. Seems like she has made some really poor decisions. She needs to see her doctor and get her medical problem taken care of and find a more positive relationship. I hope things work out for her.

Have you sat down with you daughter and actually told her how you feel? Dont talk down to your kids. Even though shes technically not a child anymore. Uti is going to make her sick, as an std would, so either way it's a good idea to go see her doctor. Most stds have symptoms...While others take months to show up. Get online and compare the symptoms and then compare them to what she's experiencing. If youre suspicious that it's an std get her checked out. You mentioned that her b/f 's not the right person for her. Does she know that hes std free? With the boyfriend issue and you knowing that she can do better, have a sit down with your daughter. Get paper and a pen and get her to write down the things that she dislikes about him. Shell probly say that theres nothing major, but theres always something wrong with someone. Then write down and discuss the possible outcomes if that behavior of his continues. Then you write down why you think hes such a bad man. Maybe that will get her to see that she can do better. Talk to her. Try to get to the root of the problem. Was she missing a father figure...Dating him makes her feel loved/important etc. Once youve done that together or just her, make a list of characteristics that she wants to find in her prince charming. By doing that shell hopefully realize that she has and needs to show herself more self worth. Hope that helps a lil bit!!!
