Could Burning Sensation While Urination, Slight Pain In Abdomen, Swollen And Red Meatus After Sex Be Recurred Fungal Infection?

I recently had unprotected sex and have a burning sensation on commencing urination. I have also had slight abdomen pain. The pain subsides once a flow has started. My meatus is also swollen and red but a doctor previously diagnosed that as fungal was going away but is now worse.

Hi there.

Thanks for writing in.

Most likely you are suffering from urinary tract infection.

I would advise you to visit a doctor and get a urine routine and culture and sensitivity test. The doctor might then put you on a course of antibiotic based on the examination/test result.

In addition, do the following.
1.Drink plenty of water , at least 8-12 glasses of water a day .
2.Regular periodic emptying of the bladder. Every 3-4 hours empty your bladder.
3.Follow good perineal hygiene, by keeping the area clean and dry. After urinating, wash the area with water and dry it with toilet paper.
4.Wash the perineal region before and after sexual intercourse. At the moment, avoid intercourse for a week or two till you get better.
5. Drinking a glass of cranberry juice might help.
6. Empty your bladder before going to bed. And again empty your bladder 20 minutes later.

Hope my answer was helpful to you.

Do get back to me if you have any further queries.

Regards,
Dr.Divya Kuttikrishnan
