Pain when urinating, but it's not a UTI?
Hi!
I feel a burning pain when I urinate, but I've been tested for UTIs and it came back negative. I'm not sure that I fit the symptoms for UTIs or yeast infections, so I'm confused...
-the pain isn't just urethral - it's worst at the opening of my vagina, but it's not deep inside. It fades after about 10 minutes
-I don't have unusual discharge, a frequent need to urinate, etc
-it doesn't happen every day, but it happens if I've masturbated (not penetrative) earlier in the day, and it's more likely at the start and end of my period
-I've had it since I was in my early teens, and I'm in my early 20s now
-I wondered if it could be an STI, but I had it for years before the only time I had unprotected sex (and I got a panel done and everything came back negative)
Any idea what could be wrong? UTI? Yeast? Endometriosis?

Hi Ann, welcome to the boards!
Can you fill us in on what medical investigation you've had for this pain? You said you tested negative for STIs and for UTI: have you had any other discussions with a healthcare provider, especially a gynaecologist, about this pain, and if so, what did they say/do?

The kyriarchy usually assumes that I am the kind of woman of whom it would approve. I have a peculiar kind of fun showing it just how much I am not.

Hi Redskies, thanks for getting back to me!
I've never been to a gynaecologist, but I've talked to a few GPs, and they basically just shrug because it's not a continual thing

Hi Ann,
That's quite annoying that the GPs behave that way. Since you have not seen one, it sounds like it might be time to schedule an appointment with a gynecologist. Do you have a sense of where to go to find one (e.g. going to a clinic vs having one who is on your insurance plan)?
