What Causes Pressure And Cramping In The Genital Area Post Intake Of Azithromycin?
Question: I was on 500 MG azithromycin for dose of antibiotic and prednisone for 5 days to treat bronchitis. I also take pulmicort inhaler twice a day for asthma. (I always rinse mouth). I now have thrush in my mouth and am taking nystatin. The last couple of days I have had an urgency and frequency to urinate. Also, I feel pressure and cramping in the genital area. NO itching or bad smell. What should I do??
Brief Answer:
Do a urine test first!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
This information is suggestive of a possible uTI. Given the fact that you have taken azithromycin just recently, I will like to see that this suspicion is confirmed by doing a urinary test before treating. Let me know how this turns out and will like to review the results with you.
I hope this is guiding enough. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
