General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

You seem to be suffering from Vaginitis. UTI along with vaginitis can be present and can only be ruled out by lab investigations. If I was your treating physician I would perform a urine complete analysis, vaginal swab culture and urine culture first of all to reach the confirm diagnosis and its type.....it may be either of three ( bacterial, fungal or trichomoniasis).
then my treatment plan would be according to the culture reports. As you have mentioned that you have already taken treatment for vaginitis, i would suggest that you now consult your gynecologist for further treatment as excessive use of all drugs will make the causative organism resistant which will make it even harder to cure.
The treatment for recurrent infection may require medicines for a longer period of time.

Meanwhile take extra care of hygiene of genital area, wear cotton undergarments and frequents changing of tampons.

I hope this answers your query. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
