Urinary tract infection(UTI)? fungal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.


Itching and burning sensation during micturition following sex is due to Urinary tract infection(UTI). You need to undergo routine urine analysis and urine culture & antibiotic sensitivity tests.
You then need to take a course of antibiotic as per the sensitivty report for at least 5-7 days.
UTI can also be due to fungal infection & Candida . albicans is the most common isolate.However it is more common among diabetic women.
Fluconazole (200–400 mg/d for 14 days) achieves high levels in urine and is the first-line regimen for Candida infections of the urinary tract.
