Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.
I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

There is no need for some urgent treatment considering all this.
These symptoms and signs may be suggestive of STD especially if there is associated pain, fever, urethral discharge and recent sexual intercourse.

So this is the first thing to rule out by doing STD testing.

Second, it may be sign of uroinfection or urinary stones and some other genital infection but this is less common.

In every case, antibiotic therapy may be required so test should be done so that appropriate treatment can be started.

Till that try to drink plenty of fluids, raspberry tea, avoid sexual intercourse and rest.
