Really worried about what's going on "down there"
Saturday night: Lost my virginity (with protection, no bleeding and it wasn't at all painful)
Monday night: Period started and I started my first pack of contraceptive pills
Tuesday night: Severe burning sensation when urinating and then feeling that I need to go again even though my bladder is empty. This is still happening now (Wednesday evening).
I read on the internet that it helps the burning to urinate when standing in the shower, so I did that (wearing a tampon)... and noticed small bloody lumps of something in the urine :confused:
Looking back, although I have been wearing a tampon when urinating through last night and today, there was a small amount of blood on the tissue. I put this down to tampon leakage until I saw the blood in the shower, when it occurred to me that it was in fact coming from the urine.
I don't know whether to put this down to starting the pill or something else, such as an STI (although I'm sure it can't be that because we used a condom). Or is it something more serious?
I'm really worried about this. Any advice would be very much appreciated!
