Q: I’m a male and I’ve never had sex. I am 15. When I pee it burns. It only happens once in a while. Is there any possible way this is normal so I can forget about this? Because I am scared to go to the doctor and find out I have an std.
A: There are STDs one can contract from activities that some may not automatically classify as sex, such as oral sex or rubbing your genitals on someone elses. Though it is very possible that it is not an STD, it is not possible to diagnose over the internet. Whenever anything is causing recurring discomfort or pain, the best course of action is to see a doctor. While the possibility of being diagnosed with an STD can be intimidating, the long term effects of having an undiagnosed STD can be a much worse experience. Many STDs are easily treated if caught early. If gone untreated, some STDs can have long term and even permanent effects.
It is possible that it is something other than an STD. It could be a Urinary Tract Infections, or even an allergy to a soap. It is best to let a doctor diagnose this. If it is a UTI or another type of infection, the doctor can help you with prescription anti-biotics.
