Vaginal Issue and having a problem detecting it

This is the second partner i had sexual intercourse with. After second time exposed to unprotected sex with him, for the next few weeks i felt the need to pee every 20 mins. drinking a lot water would extend the duration of the need to pee. and if i don’t drink enough water, when i pee it tens to hurt or in the exact malay word, ngilu. it’s very uncomforting and i notice the smell of my pee is not normal. it’s like a medication smell. but i don’t how to exactly describe it. after do my own research and googling im confused whether i have UTI or STD.

Thank you for your questions. The following answers regarding your current queries are just general descriptions due to the limited information provided by you. Click on this link (DoctorOnCall) for a private consultation with our doctors.

First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your symptoms and other health problems you might be facing. For your information, UTI and STD symptoms can overlap. However, for STI symptoms, vaginal discharge that smells abnormal, thick or in large volume are some of the most common complaints. However, to correctly diagnose STD, physical examination and vaginal discharge sample are needed to prescribe the appropriate antibiotics. On the other hand, UTI most commonly causes symptoms of painful urination, increased frequency or urgency. Treatment options for UTI
may include urine alkalinizer and/or antibiotic.

In order for us to provide you with an accurate choice of treatment and management, we need additional details to explore further into your current complaints. Therefore, we greatly suggest that you refer this to a medical doctor ASAP as UTI can complicate further kidney infection.
