Could Frequent, Painful Urination After Having Unprotected Sex Suggest STD?
I had unprotected sex just over 2 days ago and it was earlier today that I ve kept getting the urge to urinate. When I do urinate, there s less urine than I would usually release and it also slightly painful towards the end (when I finish urinating). Is there a possibility that this may be a symptom to a sexually transmitted disease or infection?

Hello,
Painful urination is more often a sign of urinary infection. STD presents first as presence of blisters around pelvic area. You should take Levofloxacin 250 mg (Levoflox) twice a day for five days along with antacid and painkiller as and when needed. Keep drinking a lot of fluids.
If you do not find relief in 5 days, then blood test for complete blood count, urine culture and vaginal swab examination is advised.
