I'm a 17 year old girl, not sexually active. For the past 6 days, I've been feeling a burning sensation in my vagina AFTER and only after I pee. Sometimes it only lasts for a few seconds, sometimes it lasts a few minutes, then it goes away. I noticed that I get the urge to urinate(not a strong urge) some time after I urinate. I notice if I lay down on my side if I have that urge, it get's worse, and if I lay down on my belly, it's not that bad. I also noticed that if I squeeze my legs together, it sort of burns, or sometimes if I wipe, it burns a little. I notice that I feel this most at night, between 11 and 2, before I go to bed. It's not usually that bad during the day. I don't know how to describe this, but it sort of feels like my vagina is weak...I also noticed that I am going to the bathroom differently. I am going once when I wake up in the morning, I empty my bladder. Sometimes during the day, I go to the bathroom, then a half an hour later, I have to go again, but I don't urinate a hell of a lot. This happens to me at night. But, I don't wake up in the middle of the night to urinate, I sleep straight through. Also, for some reason, it feels better after I masturbate. Like, the pain that I am feeling sort of feels like that feeling you get after you're finished "arousing" yourself, like it's in my clitoris. I got this about an hour after I masturbated last monday. It also feels better if I walk around.

I got those AZO UTI test strips from my local CVS, the ones that the doctors use. I took all 3 tests that it came with, and every single test says that I am negative for a UTI, for nitrites and white blood cells. The feeling that I am getting isn't getting worse, but it isn't getting better. Could I have somehow scratched myself in there by accident? I heard from people who've had a UTI, that after 3 days they had a Kidney Infection, I have no signs of that. My urine is a normal color and smell, not cloudy or bloody. I have no flank pains, no fever. My mom is a nurse and she said that I don't have a UTI, but the feelings that I have are getting annoying.

Could this be cystitis? By the way, I am not in excruciating pain, hardly any pain at all, it's just really annoying. Do I have to go to the doctor? I hate going to the doctor! I've never had this before.

I have been struggling with this since last summer!
I had surgery for endometriosis which they thought might be causing some of the issues, but my symptoms stayed. I find I have the sensation to urinate frequently most when I am walking around for long periods of time, but I don't have troubles when I am dancing or hiking--I think just that constant, walking rhythm irritates me.
I tried some pills that made it worse and then went to physical therapy and was told to do kegels and increase my water intake. I have found that my water intake increase is helping a little but not hugely. I have also had trouble getting "wet"--this was never ever a problem for me before but it's terrible. I wear a pad daily due to my frustration and fear of having to go so much. Similarly, I didn't have a UTI nor did I have cystitis. If you find out what you have, let us all know!!!
