“Do I have an STD?”
Why does it burn when I pee after sex? I have only one sex partner and have had only one for a very long time. After having sex I always feel sore, but recently it’s been burning after sex when I pee. Sometimes it burns a little after I pee too. I’m not sure what else it can be. I always pee right after as well.

You may have UTI or urethral irritation. Get checked for STD.
It may just be irritated after sex, but just because you only have one partner- doesn’t mean he only has one. Always best to get tested for STD just in case

Not all urinary frequency means an STD; it may actually mean low Estradiol from a low dose birth control pill, from ovarian suppression if you are athletic and not getting periods or if you have a tendency toward polycystic ovary disease when women make more male hormone and not enough female hormone; you need to know what your female and male hormone levels are so get day 21 bloodwork done Your symptoms may also represent a possible yeast infection; yeast can happen when you are taking an antibiotic, taking steroids (asthma inhaler or other oral steroid), are diabetic or even ingesting higher amounts of simple carbohydrates/sugars. And don’t forget that hot weather can also trigger yeast. Remember, one of the most common STD’s is BV or Bacterial vaginosis which is triggered by an alkaline pH of vaginal secretions and it has a rotten fish odor. And it’s important to realize that spotting or bleeding with breakdown in blood causes an alkaline environment; so does frequent intercourse as male semen is very alkaline. Lastly, don’t let your guard down about HPV or genital warts or even painless skin ulcers that may represent syphilis.
