Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had sex with my husband on the fourth day of my periods. One day while passing urine, in my vagina there was a burning sensation and it started paining in the abdomen area below the stomach on the right and left sides. After that on the next day, I had no pain. After that, again the next day, I had sex with my husband then again it started paining and burning during urination. In short, there is burning sensation while urinating and a persisting burning sensation after urination. Yesterday, we did not have sex but in the morning since 6 a.m. I am having a burning sensation in my vagina which is not at all getting fine. What can be the cause of this? And what should I do?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Most probably, you are suffering from a UTI (urinary tract infection). So, get a urine examination done. Investigations to be done include urine routine and a urine culture and sensitivity. Kindly drink plenty of oral fluids. Follow up with the report.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
