[24M] Experiencing urinary burning sensation post-oral sex

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, the most likely causes of your symptoms include:

• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): UTIs are infections that occur in any part of your urinary system, which includes your kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. UTIs are more common in women, but men can get them too. They can cause a burning sensation during urination and increased frequency of urination.

  • Treatment typically involves antibiotics, which you are already taking in the form of cephalexin.

• Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI): Given that your symptoms started a few days after you received oral sex, it's possible that you may have contracted a sexually transmitted infection, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia. These STIs can cause a burning sensation during urination and increased frequency of urination.

  • Treatment typically involves antibiotics. Some STIs are resistant to certain antibiotics, so it's important to get tested to determine the most effective treatment.

What you can do

1. Continue taking your prescribed antibiotics as directed by your healthcare provider. It's important to complete the full course of antibiotics, even if your symptoms improve before you've finished the medication.
2. Drink plenty of water to help dilute your urine and ensure that you're flushing out your urinary system.
3. Avoid sexual activity until you've been evaluated by a healthcare provider to prevent potentially spreading an STI.

What you should look out for

If your symptoms do not improve after completing your course of antibiotics, or if they worsen at any point, you should seek medical attention. Additionally, if you develop any new symptoms, such as fever, back or side pain, or blood in your urine, you should seek medical attention immediately.
