I've recently been feeling a very strong burning sensation while peeing and then after peeing the burning lasts for another 45 minutes to an hour (after taking advil). Could this mean that I have a bladder infection or a urinary tract infection?

About 10 years ago, when I was 7, I had a bladder infection which makes me really feel that this could be the same thing. I have never had sex so I am hoping this is just something out of the blue and maybe it will go away because about a year ago I was feeling these same types of pains and they went away after about 2 weeks or so.

I am affraid to tell my parents because I do not want to go through the painful doctor visits again.

Any suggestions?
