Honeymoon cystitis?: Probably a lower urinary tract infection (UTI, bladder infection, also called cystitis). UTI is common in women with recently increased sexual activity; it has an old name, "honeymoon cystitis". Your own normal bacteria are the cause (it's not an STD). Antibiotic Rx is easy and effective; contact your doctor ASAP. Til then, drink lots of fluids & try phenazopyridine (e.g. Azo®) to reduce symptoms.
