Doc,
I had unprotected sex with a pregnant woman two days ago. She swears that she is clean and that I shouldnt worry. Despite her claim, I have been extremely worried that I may have contracted an STD. As of this morning, about a day and a half later I have urinating very frequently and it always feels as if I need to urinate. It is causing me to be very very worried. The urination started this morning and I have been very worried since. The intercourse lasted for about 10 minutes. I finished inside of her and my penis never really got hard. Is it to soon to get checked and is frequent urination a symptom?

Frequent urination doesn't suggest STD of any kind. It is often a symptom of stress or anxiety, especially when the source of anxiety is concern about genital health. So I doubt you caught an STD, and I doubt anything is wrong except for anxiety. But if your symptoms persist, see your health care provider or your local STD clinic for examination and reassurance. You can expect that nothing abnormal will be found.

Also I have been masturbating a lot since the encounter. Would that add to frequent urination?
