A member asked:

How do i know if i have a uti or an std? frequent urination. urge to go. can't go when i feel i need to.

Get tested: Sounds like you may have a UTI. Frequently, the symptoms of UTI and STI overlap so it can be hard to differentiate between the two (even for physicians). Urinalysis and/or pelvic exam with evaluation of vaginal/cervical secretions is the sure-fire way to get your answer. See your doctor for testing. Take Care.
