It might be a kidney infection, or maybe Diabettis, (but lets hope not) just start drinking plenty of water and lay off the sugar a little

Sounds like a Urinary Tract infection.
But it could also be an STD.
Urinary tract infections typically occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra and begin to multiply in the bladder. The urinary system has infection-fighting properties that inhibit the growth of bacteria and is designed to keep out such microscopic invaders. However, certain factors increase the chances that bacteria will enter the urinary tract, take hold and multiply into a full-blown infection.
Having bacteria in the urine doesn't always signify an infection. Some people, especially older adults, may have bacteria in the urine without any signs or symptoms of infection. This condition, known as asymptomatic bacteriuria, doesn't need treatment.
Cystitis may occur in women after sexual intercourse. But even girls and women who aren't sexually active are susceptible to lower urinary tract infections because the anus is so close to the female urethra. Most cases of cystitis are caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), a species of bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract.
In urethritis, the same organisms that infect the kidney and bladder can infect the urethra. In addition, because of the female urethra's proximity to the vagina, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), such as herpes simplex virus and chlamydia, also are possible causes of urethritis.
In men, urethritis often is the result of bacteria acquired through sexual contact. The majority of such infections are caused by gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Best to go to the doctors and get tested for what ever is needed to address whats wrong with you.

UTI or Kidney infection. If it is a Urinary Tract Infection and you just let it go it will most likely turn into a Kidney Infection or worse a Kidney Stone. You just need to go get simple antibiotics from the doctor to clear it up. Don't wait any longer than you have to cause it'll just get worse.

could be urinary tract infection but.... you will need to see a doctor for medication. It's common, especially for women. In the meantime, drink cranberry juice. Oh a small advise, don't wait to go in the future. It is generally caused by needed to go and you don't.

You have a bladder infection ..no need for medication... drink a gallon of cranberry juice and it will disappear like magic. Also, drink at least one glass of water and one glass of juice a day, and try not to wear jeans that rub that area and you should never get it again.

Look up Urinary Tract Infection. You should probably see your doctor to get some antibiotics, as this will likely not go away without them.
