Ok so heres the thing... people say that having sex when girls are on their period is safe and not painful... well instead of sex I Masterbated while I was on my period (2days before it was over) After i did that 2 days later my cycle was done, and when ever I urinate, it smells really bad and it stings a little (but the stinging/burning feeling happens sometimes) . I did some research and found out people/girls can get UTI(urinary tract Infection) after sex/masterbating.....its scaring me, i dont know if i have UTI or not. Because having your urine smell really bad and having a burning feeling is some of the symptoms of UTI. Can someone help me on this. My mom doesnt know about this either. and im scared to find out if i have UTI or not. It has been weeks since this issue started and the smell doesnt go away.
I also heard that if you drink lots of water and cranberry juice it will help with the UTI.
iv been drinking alot of water, and whenever i drink and go pee, it doesnt smell as bad.
Im just confused. Help!~ Please and Thnxks

Drinking lots of water HELPS flush the bladder out to remove more bacteria. However, if there is already an infection, they cannot be flushed out as quickly as they are multiplying in your bladder, and water will not CURE a UTI. Cranberry juice has the same effect. It is also very acidic which will create a high pH environment in your bladder. Many types of bacteria cannot survive in a high pH environment (just like how a jar of pickles can stay opened in the fridge without spoiling for a very long time, it has a high pH). Again though, this will not CURE a UTI. Usually once you have a UTI, the bacteria have grown so out of control that the only thing that will cure it is antibiotics.
Some people are more prone to urinary tract infections. To prevent them from happening before they happen, that is when it is helpful to drink lots of water and cranberry juice. Also, after you have sex or masturbate, go pee. This will flush out any fluids that might have been pushed up the urinary tract before it can turn into a UTI. This is what is working for me now to prevent them.
You really should go see a doctor though whenever you think there is chance of any sort of infection in your body. But don't be worried! If you're not in a lot of pain and your energy is normal then its not an emergancy. I'm worried if you leave it longer though, it will become very painful and discomforting you will be wishing you had gone to the doctor sooner. All the best to you!!! :)
Rule of thumb: If it doesn't seem normal/right, get it checked. Especially when there is an odor.

Iv been still drinking water and everything, so the odor is not that strong compared to the times when i dont drink water.
i just dont want my mom to know about it. Like if i get an infection er anything, i dont want her to kno "Oh she masterbates" n shiz like that. Its ackward, for me at least.
But thanks again.
