1.Burning sensation during urination and redness at the urethral opening can be due to urinary tract infection or sexually transmitted infection after recent exposure.

2.Mild pain on the left side of the stomach or flank can sometimes be an early sign of kidney stones but is not specific.

3.Common early signs of kidney stones include flank or side pain radiating to groin. Frequent urination. Burning sensation. Nausea or vomiting. Sometimes blood in urine.

4.Since you had oral sex recently an infection needs to be ruled out with urine routine test. Urine culture. If needed an STI panel.

5.Drink plenty of water. Avoid spicy and irritant foods. Consult a urologist with basic urine and ultrasound tests to confirm the cause and start correct treatment.

Hi Nikhil,

Based on your symptoms, STI/urethritis or UTI looks more likely than kidney stone, but both need checking.

Please do these tests:

Urine routine & culture STI tests Ultrasound abdomen + pelvis (to rule out stones)

Meanwhile:

Drink PLENTY OF WATER Maintain Hygiene Avoid sexual activities till diagnosis is clear.

Please don’t ignore your symptoms. Get tests done ASAP and start treatment.

Thank you dear

Your symptoms—burning urination, redness at the urethral opening, mild left-sided abdominal pain, and recent oral sex—suggest a possible urinary tract infection (UTI) or a sexually transmitted infection (STI) such as gonorrhea or chlamydia. Since symptoms have persisted for a week, you should see a urologist or sexual health specialist urgently for urine tests, urethral swab, and appropriate treatment. Avoid sexual activity until evaluated, drink plenty of water, and do not self-medicate with leftover antibiotics.

Your burning urination, redness, and abdominal pain may indicate a UTI or sexually transmitted infection after oral sex. Since it has lasted a week, you should avoid self-medicating and seek prompt evaluation. Please consult a urologist or venereologist for urine culture and STI screening to start the right treatment.

Based on the symptoms you’re experiencing—burning sensation during urination, redness in the urethral opening, and mild pain on the left side of your abdomen—it’s possible that you might be dealing with a urinary tract infection (UTI) or sexually transmitted infection (STI), rather than a kidney stone. These symptoms align more with an infectious process, considering your history of sexual activity and the redness you’ve noted. Kidney stones can cause abdominal or flank pain, often severe and on one side, but the burning during urination and redness aren’t typical signs of stones. For an STI or UTI, your first step should be to see a healthcare provider who can perform a physical examination and run appropriate tests, like a urinalysis or a swab test, to identify the potential pathogen. In the meantime, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water can help flush out bacteria from your urinary tract. However, while waiting for professional advice, avoid self-treating with over-the-counter medications or antibiotics, as incorrect usage could worsen your symptoms or mask them, making diagnosis difficult. If you develop symptoms like fever, nausea, vomiting, or increased pain, seek medical attention promptly as these could indicate more serious issues like a kidney infection. Addressing this promptly with your provider will help in planning the appropriate treatment and preventing complications.
