Female / First Experience • 2026. 01. 13.
Since my first sexual experience, I've had blood in my urine and lower abdominal pain. There's a slight burning sensation and a constant urge to urinate, but it feels like I'm barely passing any fluid. Is this cystitis? Could it be related to pregnancy or an STD? Which clinic should I visit?

The symptoms of hematuria, frequency, and abdominal pain after initial intercourse are classic signs of 'honeymoon cystitis,' where bacteria enter the urethra during intimacy. While it doesn't immediately suggest pregnancy or an STD, a urinalysis and potentially a culture test are necessary to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other infections. You can visit either a urology or a gynecology clinic for this.
