Hi kinkykiki313, welcome!

1) do i have a U.T.I.?

Quite probably

2) why?

More than likely, because bacteria were forced up your urethra during intercourse.

3) what do i do?

See your doctor for treatment.

4) do i jsut wait it out?

No, you should not do that! You can’t wait for a UTI to clear up by itself. It won’t and the infection could spread to your bladder and then it would be much more serious.

To minimize the possibility of UTIs you can drink lots of unsweetened cranberry juice (an acquired taste) and pee immediately after intercourse. That will flush most of the bacteria out of your urethra. See your doc and let us know how you're doing, ok?
