For the past couple of days ive been experiencing off and on burning AFTER i use the bathroom (about five minutes after). i only notice it a couple times per day. i also dont really have the urge to go to the bathroom that much but my mom who is a nurse just thinks that im dehydrated so ive been drinking lots of water. i dont feel like i have to go pee all the time and when i do its a lot and there isnt any blood. normally when i have a uti i KNOW it, it is very painful for me. im just trying to figure out what could be going on with me. i did an at home uti test with my fmu and it was negative for both nitrites and proteins. so should i wait this out and see if it gets worse or go to the dr sooner than later? its been like this for about 3 days and hasnt gotten worse so far.

It doesn't sound like you have a UTI.
If you did, a urine test would be positive, you would be wanting to go all the time and when you got there, you would only pass a little and the urine would sting as you passed it, or as the flow stops. A vaginal yeast infection would show itself with a white discharge so in the absence of all the symptoms of a UTI or yeast infection, I'd be most likely to agree with your mom and continue to drink lots of water. An irritation around the opening to the bladder might cause your symptoms. This could be caused by sexual intercourse, sexually transmitted diseases, tight clothing or wearing of pads. If your symptoms persist for a week, or you develop a fever, I suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor.

yeah, like right now (its been about 20 minutes since ive gone to the bathroom) i wouldnt even think that anythings wrong. my hubby came back (he's in the military) and we have been having frequent sex, could it be that i overdid it? we are taking a two day break to see if i get better.

Yep... that could do it. There's a condition known as honeymoon cystitis caused by frequent intercourse but unless you develop further symptoms of a UTI, I'd wait and see if a few days of abstinance might help.
Contact your doctor if any of the following develop: Signs of a UTI: * Bloody or pink-colored urine (hematuria) * Changes in urine color * Cloudy urine * Dysuria (difficulty urinating) and urinary retention * Foul-smelling urine * Frequent urination that often produces only a small amount of urine * Painful urination * Urgent need to urinate Signs of something worse happening in your body: * Abdominal, pelvic, or lower back pain that can be severe * Fatigue * Fever and chills * Loss of appetite * Nausea with or without vomiting * Night sweats * Pain during sexual intercourse * Pain in your groin or side * Redness, warmth or swelling I hope that helps.

i just used the restroom again and while it didnt hurt to pee, the pain ive gotten afterwards isnt going away. its been about 10 minutes. could it be that my urine is TOO acidic from the cranberry pills? i read that somewhere
