Question
I'm a 17 year old and I lost my virginity about a month ago. The first time i didnt use a condom but ever since I have. The past two weeks I have been peeing a lot and when i'd do so it would hurt or nothing would come out. Sometimes blood might be there too. Ive heard about Urinary Tract Infection but Im also late for my period by a week. Im wondering if these can also be symptoms of pregnancy or if it is just UTI?
Answer
Feeling like you have to pee and nothing coming out, and blood in your urine, mean you need to see a doctor for antibiotics, and yes, it is likely a Urinary Tract Infection. Those are not pregnancy symptoms, however, but being late is, so get tested. Good luck!!
