Question
I just recently lost my virginity two nights ago. My boyfriend did not use a condom. Well I'm concerned because I kind of feel irritated down there, it itches, and it feels like I gotta pee, but don't...Is this normal feelings or signs of an STD?
Answer
Well the "feels like I gotta pee" suggests a urinary tract infection, so drink 64 ounces of water each day, sometimes cranberry juice helps, and if it does not go away in a day or two, please see your doctor. There may have been some friction, so if the itching persists, again, see the doctor and while you are there, talk aboaut starting a reliable method of birth control, in addition to the condoms!
