My stomach has been hurting on the sides, it is especially tender when I touch it. And my back has been having sharp pains every now and then. I also feel like and need to urinate, but not much comes out. But the weird part is that I also feel increased sexual desire. Well, we have been having a lot of sex lately but I don't feel fulfilled afterwards. I've also been having a lot of discharge and it smells different, but I don't know if that's from the sex or not. Well, I noticed it before we started having lots of sex. I just assumed it was from my birth control pills. Well, I haven't been feeling good lately.

Like Kris (above me) said this sounds more like something with the kidneys. If you don't have any kind of pain when urinating, I wouldn't think it would be a UTI, but I'm definitely not a doctor :) Just from personal experience with my own UTI's, I know that you feel the urge to urinate much more frequently, and when you do urinate, not much comes out and it is very, very painful--atleast it was for me. Another symptom would be blood in the urine--you didn't mention anything about that, hopefully this is not a problem. Also, I never had any change in the discharge (like you had mentioned) while I had a UTI. Though I do know that my urine had a weird smell. Either way, kidney infections and UTI's can get quite serious if not treated--but you probably know that--so please see your doctor ASAP.
Hope I helped! Feel better soon :)

I wonder how old you are and if you've had children... I've had some of these same symptoms, and I've been to the doctor, and even a specialist. What the doctor said was that I need to take this weak antibiotic before having intercourse, with2 large glasses of water. I did that and it did help. I had ultrasounds and everything, but the specialist hit the nail on the head. I do suggest you see a doctor. It's very frustrating.... really. I know what you're feeling and it's not good. Really; good luck with this.

Oh yeah, it is. I had a UTI along with a yeast infection AND a vaginal infection. I had them for about 3 months. I could never pee when I wanted to and got sharp pains when anything came out. It came from the sex, because a UTI is when your Kidneys stop being able to filter out the bacteria for awhile, and their is bacteria in sex. But it has nothing to do with how well you clean, your kidneys just can't filter it out and it builds up. Go to the doctor and get some pills for it, it will get better soon!

Sounds a lot more like a kidney infection to me. You are presenting with all the symptoms of that rather than a UTI. You need to see your Dr. because there are certain antibiotics used just for that, and it wont go away on it's own. Feel better.

It could be a number of things, such as a UTI, bladder infection, kidney infection, kidney stone, an STD, etc. You should be examined by a professional in order to find out what is really going on.

It could be, could also be bladder infection. The downside is sex can give females both of these very often. Make sure you urinate and clean after every sexual encounter, it will reduce your chances of yeast infections, UTI's and bladder infections.

No matter what type of infection it is, you should stop intercourse or you can pass it on to your partner. Kidney infections hurt men even more. Go see a doctor. ANd drink some 100% cranberry juice.

Possibly a UTI but more than likely a yeast infection. Probablly a good idea to see your doctor, especially if it persists or gets worse. Good luck!

It could be. DIfficulty urinating is a sign. You need to see a doctor though because if it is a UTI, you'll need antibiotics.

The back and side pains part of this sounds like it could be a kidney problem, which is quite serious...
