What to take for pain when urinating after sex?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a girl, age 20. I had sex four days before, but from that date, I am continuously feeling pain during urination and getting urine out very frequently. Please tell me if that is a serious issue. How to get out of this pain?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This is common post-coital urethritis. Take more water and baking soda half spoon in one glass of water.

I also suggest taking painkillers like Diclofenac with Ranitidine. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Is this a serious issue?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is common after sex and usually not a serious issue.

If you do not get relief in two to four days, then you will need a urine examination and consultation with a doctor.
