What Causes Vaginal Itchiness Despite Using Canestan?

Hi, I was put on antibiotics for a uti, the urge to pee has went away but I m still very itchy in the inside of my vagina, I don t think it s a yeast infection as before this I was using canestan cream and the internal tablet the doctor also gave me a single tablet to swallow but that didn t seem to cause any effect in helping the situation, I m on day 4 of the antibiotics is it just taking a while or will this not help the itching, I m really sick of this feeling , the doctor gave me an internal and external exam and said I looked fine, maybe just abit swollen or tight from the itching sensation but normal , can you help me please , the antibiotic im in is Macrodantin

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

This is usually self-limiting and may not indicate any disorder. However, in some cases, urinary or std may be present if this last for more days.

I will suggest you keep the private parts clean and dry. Use of Lactic acid containing vaginal wash at Bath time is advisable. Use of Condom, over the period of the next 2 weeks while having sexual activity is advisable.

I STD tests is done then in case of positivity you can have a week-long course of Doxycycline 100 mg. orally twice a for a week. Antifungal agents like Fluconazole 150 mg once a week.

A local ointment containing clotrimazole and clindamycin twice daily for a week to be applied on the private parts and vaginal tablets of Clotrimazole and Clindamycin at night for 7 days.

Please seek prescription help from your treating gynaecologist for getting oral, local and vaginal antibacterial and antifungal agents.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
