What Are The Symptoms Of UTI And STD?

about a week ago I had unprotected sex with a close friend I trust. She believed to have a yeast infection. The next day, about 12 hrs later or so the head of my penis was very sensitive and looked to appear to have small red unraised bumbs on them. I did a bit of research online and came up with the conclusion i may have gotten her yeast infection. so, i went to the store and got some monistat cream and some natural yeast infection pills. after just one day the red bumbs went away and the head of my penis was no longer sensitive. Then came the urge to urinate a lot. and after i would pee i would feel like I had to pee again. After again doing research online I came up with the conclusion i may have got a bacteria virus from her witch may have turned into a UTI. I have been treating it with all natural cranberry pills and lots of water. It doesnt burn when i pee and there is no other pain. Just peeing a lot but i am drinking a ton of fluids. Prob 1 gallon a day. Any ideas on what it could be? STD? or just a UTI or yeast infection?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query with diligence. UTI and STD can have same symptoms. Yeast infection can coexist with other infections. But your symptoms are not just due to yeast infection alone. STDs like Gonorrhea and Chlamydia can have just urethral discharge and pain or with urinary symptoms also. So better to have a urine routine and urine tests for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. A culture of urine also will be needed This will help to rule out that. Antibiotics will be required in case of positive signs of infection. Even if there is negative results I would suggest antibiotics like Azithromycin or Doxycycline to be on safe side.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
