I'm 19, female, in a long term relationship with the man I lost my virginity to.
For the last couple of days it's been burning when I urinate, but I have no other symptoms. Could this be related to him being away for 4 weeks, as when he came back we had a lot of sex for a week, and then this started. I've had problems about a year ago, like random bleeding which stopped after a short time. I just linked these to too much sex after not having any for a while. Is this what's causing it? And how long till the burning feeling goes away? I'm starting to dread going to the toilet.
Cheers

Get a STD checkup soon.

Is that the only thing it could be, an STD? Or are there other causes?

It could also be a bacterial infection. They can be very painful and you can really dread going to the bathroom. If your boyfriend was also a virgin than it cant be an STD. I would go to the doc though. Bacterial infections can be extremely painful and can be cured with antibiotics. So, I would set up an appointment.

This sounds to me like cystitis or a urninary tract infection. When you have lots of sex after not having any for a little while your urethra gets irritated and bacteria get inside causing an infection. Drink lots and lots of water which will help with the pain when urinating, and take a urine sample to your health care provider. They can do a stick test there and then to diagnose it, and will probably give you antibiotics.

You can also get something from the chemist, but I would go to your GP today.

Hope that helps and hope you feel better soon.
