This has been going on for months and I don’t know what to do anymore. My urine smells REALLY strong every time I pee and I mean really really strong (not dehydration as this happens even when I drink a lot of water). I got a urinalysis twice and results came back normal both times, I also did a glucose test to check for diabetes and that was fine too. So my doctor told me it’s better to go to a gynaecologist instead.
Now this is why I’m scared. I’m 21 and I’m sexually active, I also live in a very conservative Muslim country where sex before marriage is illegal so I’m not sure what I should do now. I was honestly hoping this could just be a UTI (although I have no other symptoms at all other than the smell) but it’s not. I don’t think it could be a yeast infection or BV since again I don’t have any other symptoms, so the only thing I can think of is an STD even though I’ve always used condoms during sex (except one time where I did not know) :/
I really don’t know what to do. My mom will also be coming with me to the doctor because she doesn’t trust being with a gyno alone for some reason and she’s also extremely religious and conservative, any small sign of me being sexually active and I don’t even know how she’d react. I also can’t just not tell her that I’m going since she’s paying for it.
There are some std testing clinics in the country, however they are extremely extremely expensive and I cannot afford it at all so clearly that’s not even an option.
Honestly I don’t even know what advice I’m exactly looking for. I’m scared for so many different reasons including my health. Can anyone think of what this most likely would be?
Edit: I also have a lump in the area where the thigh meets the groin that comes and goes and I read online that that is a swollen lymph node which means my body is trying to fight off an infection, not sure if this is related but just wanted to add it incase. submitted by /u/purplecat262
