UTI UTI UTI !!!!!

So recently I’ve been having a stinging sensation after peeing. I did some research and Diagnosed myself with a UTI. But I made an appointment on Friday to see my doctor get get an accurate test done. And if it does come out positive to get the meds I need.

Anyways I’m just writing this just to talk about it. I wanted to tell my boyfriend but I don’t want him to think I’m dirty or something is wrong with me. Btw me and my boyfriend have protected sex. Does anyone have any ideas some way I could tell him about my problem?😔
