Could I have an STD or am I paranoid?!


Question: Could I have an STD or am I paranoid?
I had sex for the first time 5 days ago. It was unprotected, very brief, experimental sex with a girl I barely know. Now I feel like my penis hurts and I think I feel a slight burning. I don't know if it's my imagination because it was my first time or if I injured it (I did kinda over do it during sex) because unless I'm mistaken STDs dont show symptoms in the first few weeks. Either way I'm getting tested this week and again in a month and never having unprotected sex again, but I just wanna know if I'm being paranoid.

Answers:

I would say that you are being cautious, not paranoid. It is the first time for you to have sex, and you aren't sure what physical feelings you should have afterwords, but you go and get checked for any STD's or your mind will play all kinds of tricks on you.
Good luck!



It could be a bacterial infection of the urethra which can happen overnight. It does not have to be an std but you are getting checked which is good. Drink Cranberry Juice as it can help.



It could be a yeast infection at the most. It isn't likely anything huge if the symptoms pop up that quick.
