Hi, i'm 14 and i've been having a burning sensation after i've gone to the toilet in the past day. i haven't had any sexual encounters, so i'm wondering if i could be a UTI. Can someone help please :-([/list]
Hi huni, Dont worry about a thing, I know its very unpleasant and makes you feel a bit rough but worrying will only make it worse.
It does indeed sound like either a UTI or you just haven't been drinking enough water during the day.
I suggest drinking a glass of fresh cranberry juice with a pint of water every hour- hour and half.

Hi,
It sounds to me like you are experiencing urinary tract infection. The most common symptoms of UTI are painful or burning urination, milder or stronger pain in lower abdomen or darker, cloudy urine. This infection is very common and women get it more than men, even though it isn’t sexually transmitted in all cases Luckily, UTI is completely treatable: all you need to do is see a doctor to get an antibiotic prescription and the symptoms will clear away in the matter of days.
Before antibiotics start to work, you can get some relief from the pain by drinking large amounts of water, or even better, cranberry juice. That helps to flush out the infection quicker and cranberry juice also has some antibiotic properties that help antibiotics to do their work faster.
