Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.
Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Atrophic Vulvo-Vaginitis with ?Candidiasis.
No antibiotics would work in this case.
Flucanazole Tab orally with Estrogen vaginal cream,regularly for 1 week would resolve, besides care for Urethritis.
Gynec check with urinalysis would fix the plan of treating it by your Gynec doctor.
Hope this would help you to solve your health issues in the best way possible.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Good Day!!

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
Read and reviewed facts of your health query.
I understood your health concerns.
My Impression-
Based on facts of your query,You seems to suffer from-
Chronic Cystitis with Soreness in crotch area.
I would ask you to assess the case for Genital Thrush and treat it accordingly.
Overusage of Antibiotics and post-menoupausal age with low estrogen levels make you more pron for such recurring infections.
Dilute Dettol sponging of private parts would reduce the recurrence of the Cystitis in your case.
Besides this Prolapse of Uterus and Bladder Cystocele makes this age more prone to Chronic Cystitis.So assess and rule out it from Gynec Check up.
Most important part of your health care is -keeping private ano-perianal-perivaginal hygiene strictly and meticulously as suggested.
Also evaluate the anti-diabetic drugs if any, or do tests to detect diabetes and to treat it accordingly from your Physician /Gynec doctors.
Vaginal Smeal Testing for Ameba/Trichomoniasis/ Giardiais which are uncommon but probabilities in your case of Chronic Cystitis.
Estrogenic creams intravaginally with Povidone Vaginal Pessaries would give your mother relief she would need.
Pyridium with Urinary antibiotics after Urine culture would be the policy of antibiotic treatment, rather than conventional uro-antibiotics,which may not be useful as she is on Chronic Antibiotics use in your mother.
You should meticulously maintain alkalization of urine and
Penty of fluid intake for your mother to bring Sore Crotch of your mother in control fully in next 6 weeks time.
Hope this would help to plan treatment with your doctors.
Keep Me updated whenever needed , 24 x 7, to help you out by even,online tips for You, on weekly basis.
