when i go to the bathroom and pee, afterward i feel very uncomfortable. i always feel like i have to pee. and sometimes it will burn. i have been tested for stds so that is not it. but it only has happened since i moved out of my parents house. before that i would never have any problems. maybe because im poor now and cna't afford a great diet all the time, but then other people are 10 times unhealthier then me. i stopped drinking soda months ago, except one very now and then, i dont eat much sugar, i usually eat rice or vegetables and chicken or fish. i drink milk or water or juice. i take vitamins. but this started before that. its just been very uncomfortable because i dread using the bathroom. i have also had problems in "other areas". sometimes i have wiped and had a small drop of blood, the size of a needle. one time it was an actual clot, and i find it difficult to release my bowles. i had never had a problem with that for 18 years of my life. i dont have i nsurance

Go to any hospital emergency room-- they cant refuse you treatment and they cant force you to pay. You will have to pee in a cup-- you will be instructed to a "clean catch" which means you wipe yourself with these sterile towels, start peeing and about 5 seconds into peeing, you start peeing into the cup-- you put the top on and voila' you're done. The doctor may do a cat scan to make sure you dont have any kidney stones-- all is minor--- you will be given good antibiotics to get rid of the infection---IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO YOUR HEALTH TO GO TO THE ER- an untreated urine infection can lead to kidney failure--- the hospital will also give you the medications you need so you wont have to pay for them also-- and by the way, you should apply for medical assistance or medicaid- if you dont have money you will qualify and can get better health care on a need to need basis--good luck to you and drink lots of CLEAN water-- cut out the orange juice- it is an acid and makes your bladder infection worse. Good luck to you honey--------

It sounds like you have a UTI (urinary tract infection).
It can be difficult not having insurance, but there are alternatives.
First, make sure to drink plenty of water. Whatever your drinking now, drink more. Also, drink Cranberry juice. This not only changes the Ph level of your urine, but also has an antibacterial element to it.
If you don't notice results within a day or two, go to the health food store and ask for the person who is most knowledgeable. Tell them what's going on, and they should be able to help you out.
Good luck! Happy Holidays!

Please go to a doctor! sounds like you have a Urinary or Bladder infection, take some AZO to relieve the symptoms HOWEVER this will not cure the infection. My daughter gets these often, once she ended up in the ER because she was too scared to tell me, spread into her kidneys and was very serious! If we hadn't caught it in time she would have been at great risk. Please see a doctor, ask your parents if they could maybe pay for it and you can repay them when you have the money? Also try the free clinics in your area, there are usually free clinics in every major city. Do it now while the cost is low, a Kidney infection will cost much more to cure and is much more fatal.

it sounds like you have a uti. drink cranberry juice and lots of water to help the bacteria go out, but u really need to see a physician because this needs to be taken care of ASAP the bacteria will move to the kidneys in a UTI situation and he/she will put you on the right meds. When you wipe, wipe from front to back. Don't put your health at risk. Talk to your parents and they will be able to help you.

yes I think you have a UTI, the cranberry juice is a great idea, they also have an over the counter medicine, I can't remember what it is called. You will find it with the condoms and vaginal creams in your drug store. They are little purple pills and they stop the pain immediately. Good Luck.

Well you need to get that checked out. you could have an infection or something. Maybe they have a County hospital where they take people without insuracne and hopefully you can work out payment plans or something.

Not only is this not funny, but completly immature. I suggest that you start thinking about growing up. Normal people don't act like this

you can have a urinary tract infection. you really need to check that out it should not cost that much for a doctor's visit and you will have to take medicine. you should try going to a clinic they charge you by your income.
