I had the same thought when I read your question. It really does sound like a urinary tract infection (UTI), with the urgency, frequency and hurting that you described. This is actually a condition that has a funny name "Honeymoon Cystitis" (or, bladder infection), as it can be caused from prolonged sexual intercourse.

I have had many UTIs when I was younger, and it is a simple and quick doctor visit to get diagnosed and treated. They need a urine sample (pee in cup, in private) and an on-site lab can give you the results quickly. You will most likely be prescribed an antibiotic, and there are some pain relievers that will help with the burning and frequency urge. Some of these are OTC (over the counter); you can ask a pharmacist what he/she recommends (don't be shy to ask...UTIs are very common!!)

oh! And don't wait too much longer; this is an infection that is most likely to become more painful the longer you delay getting treatment.
