I'm having this really sharp pain every time I pee, like it feels like my clitoris is about to explode. The pain is so intense around that area and my lower abdomen, but it goes away pretty quickly. Theres still some mild pain in my abdomen even after Im done. What could be causing this?

This could be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). I recommend taking an antibiotic such as Ciprofloxacin. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine, to help relieve the pain and discomfort while urinating. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
