Std or uti?

Question:

I had protected sex about 3 and a half weeks ago and yesterday morning i woke up with lower abdominal pain like someone is puttin pressure on it and frequent urination but no pain when passing urine, i went to the doctor yesterday and he tested my urine for uti but after a dip test couldnt see anything however he did give me an antibiotic because he said these were the classic signs of cysitis, im just worried now because they say these are the same symptoms of sti's and about the fact he found no signs of infection in my urine, can anybody help? could this be an sti?

Answers:
no... its a urinary tract infection.. if it is STI, then you should have feel the pain only when someone put pressure on you ab.. no worries, just an antibiotic will cure UTI's.. just be sure that when you wash after "pooping", wash from behind... dont wash in front.. you should wash your hands first before washing you vagina.. because, UTI's can be a cause of the accidental transfer of the bacterias from the anus to the vagina.. it's more prevalent among women than men, because men have long urethra.. so their urethra is farther from the anus than women..

uti

if the symptoms do not stop after the full course of antibiotics go back to the dr and have him test for std

im not to sure if its an sti but do get an answer and check up from your doctor

let's hope for both!!

CLAP your hands!

I am Not sure of it to be either. I feel that you have had a poor dietary chioce. give your body a week or so to work it out. the antibiotic however could increase the abdominal pain.

what kind of protected sex did you have? Was a preventive sheath like a condom used or pills were taken? depends because protection from STI requires the use of a protective sheath like the male or female condom during intercourse.

However you need not worry since such infections are not rare and sex is not the only source for such microbials entering your system. So relax, take the course the anti biotics and if the symptoms get worse, then consult a doctor for a change of anti biotics.

Put the proirity on getting well soon rather than worrying what it is because in any case, you have to undergo the treatment for an infection with an antibiotic only.

Get well soon!

Greetings...in my opinion it is UTI but if you would like to know more what is UTI and STD you can visit this website at

Well if you went to the doctor and she did a urine culture (the ones that they send to the lab) and said it was NOT a UTI then it could be a vaginal infection / vagina imbalance. Go to your GYN for an exam and he or she will take a swab and look at it under a microscope and determine the cause . Sometimes Bacterial Vaginiosis (Not an STD) feels like a UTI. Also i recommend taking some lactobacillus capsules which helps balance the flora down there! Good Luck!
