Vaginal burn when urinating Posted: 06-25-08 13:01pm
Hi,
I'm 21 and about a week ago I had sex with
my boyfriend - I'm on a birth control pill
so we didn't use a condom and I'm certain
that we're both STD free. The next day I
had itchiness in my vagina, not on the
lips but where the penis would actually
enter.. and it feels like it's inside. It
burns when I urinate but there's no
discharge or smell. There is a VERY LITTLE
bit of blood and it can't be attributed to
my period. I'm not on any medication other
than the birth control. I'm thinking that
it's a cut or rawness inside because it
doesn't itch per se it just feels like a
burning, it's not severe but just there -
enough to notice. We haven't had sex
since. Any thoughts or suggestions on what
it could be or what I could do? I don't
have health insurance so seeing a doctor
is pretty much not an option at this
point. I just can't afford it.
thanks.

It sounds like you may have a UTI.
You're going to have to go to the doctor
and be put on some antibiotics.

I agree with Maddie, this sounds like a
urinary tract infection.
Go to the doctor.
OR, it could be a tear. The only way to
know for sure is to go to the doctor.
There are free clinics generally
everywhere across the US. My advice would
be to go to one of these.
If that is not an option, you should see
your doctor anyway and request to make
payments for the bill. They are usually
willing to accept payment arrangements but
your health is not something to joke
around with.
