Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had urinal infection two weeks back. At that time the pus cells were 55. Then, I got treated and the pus cells became three. After four days, the urine culture result shows the growth of Enterococcus. The doctor advised Utinift SR 100 mg 1-0-1 for five days. I have only two more tablets balance, but from that day of infection, I cannot have sex with my husband. I have severe burning sensation while having intercourse.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Burning is common after urinary infection and this is the reason they advise to abstain from sex while on treatment. If you are having burning during sex then please avoid sex for a couple of weeks. Your partner should also receive full antibiotic course. After that, you can use lubricants during sex and this will reduce the pain.
