Hi -

I have been experiencing some wierd problems lately with my body! I have been having to use the bathroom a lot lately, I have pelvic pain and or cramps. When I pee it kind hurts after the flow of pee is done and small drops of blood follow (light in color). I have been experiencing this for about 5 days now! I am sexually active, I am not on birth control, but do use a VCF -vaginal contraceptive foam. I have never been pregnant nor have any kids in the present. I have been on birth control in my past (4 years ago). My next period should flow around April 28th. I would like to know what I am experiencing, can it be I am just experiencing some PMS affects? Can it be the Vaginal foam I am using, or is it a sign of me being pregnant? If someone could get back to me on this asap! Thank you for your time!

pelvic pain and painful urination is most likely a urinary tract infection. sexually active women are more likely to get them, and vaginal foam can increase your risk. i used to use spermacide foam but had to stop because i started getting UTI's. you need to see a doctor though, they can check to see if that's what it is and give you antibiotics for it. there are also OTC medicines you can get to relieve the pain associated with UTI's, but these do NOT cure or treat the infection, they only relieve the symptoms.
