I Have Burning In My Vagina After Urination And Burning

Posted on Sun, 21 Apr 2019

Question: I have burning in my vagina after urination and burning in general and discomfort. I went to the doctor this past Thursday for a urine test. They found trace white blood cells but said would send off to a lab for further testing. They gave me antibiotics but said not to take unless symptoms get worse as it didn't appear that I had a uti (or just yet) should I take them now? My symptoms are worse and I don't have the lab culture result yet but didn't want to leave this to get worse if it is a UTI

should I start taking the antibiotics that I was given. I dont want to take them unnecessarily. I was given 7 days of Ciproflox 500 mg twice a day.

Brief Answer:
It could be due to vaginal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about your healthcare.
I have gone through your history and understand your concern.
As you are having vaginal itching and burning, it could be due to vaginal infection.
In urinary tract infection usually symptoms are mostly burning sensation in urine and pain during urination.

Drink a lot of warm water and start Neeri syp after consulting your treating doctor.
You can take Nitrofurantoin tablet after consulting your treating doctor because it is specific antibiotic for urine infection.
For vaginal itching you can use antifungal medicine.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck
Regards
