Burning

[smalltowngurl92]

Is it normal to have burning sensations while urinating when im on my period and after? I dont have burning sensations any other time than that.

okay. but would this be caused from sex or no ?
because my mom doesnt know that im not a vergin and she would kill me if she found out... and when i go to thhe doctor i wouldnt beable to tell them im sexually active or anything like that because my mom would be there...
would one of those vagisil screening test kit help for my situation or no ?
and also, should i wait to go to the doctors untill after my period ? (i just started it 2 days ago... )

sounds like an uti (urinary tract infection). you will need to go to the doctor to find out for sure. If it is then they will give you medicine. In the mean time drink plently of water and cranberry juice.

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
No it is not normal to have burning in urine during periods. During the periods the urethral opening is more prone to infection. So maintain a good personal hygiene, keep the area clean, regularly change the pads, wash the area well with water whenever you use the washroom. If the symptoms persist get a urine test done just after the periods.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
