Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 25 year old unmarried female. My height is 5'2" and I weigh 127 lbs. I am suffering from urine inflammation over last three months. My symptoms are heavy inflammation at the time of urination, red skin at vagina and itching problem. I visited the doctor five months back and taken medicine, after that it got cured. But again the problem has started over last 3-4 days. I want to consult a gynecologist, so that she can suggest me medicine. I have attached my urine test reports for your reference.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the query on this platform. I have had a look at the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

You seem to be suffering from urinary tract infection and mixed vaginosis which is the prime cause of UTI. Ideally, it is important that a high vaginal swab culture be done for isolating the organisms, both for bacterial vaginosis and vaginal candidiasis). Before administering any treatment, it would be important to get a swab culture test of urethra of your partner as well. These infections are inter transmissible and can be transferred back again to you through your partner via intercourse. So, a concomitant treatment would be necessary. I suggest you to start on antifungal pessaries such as Clingen (combination of Clindamycin and Clotrimazole) once a day for six days and oral antifungal Fluconazole 300 mg once a week for two weeks. For UTI, I suggest you antibiotics combination like Oflox-OZ (combination of Ofloxacin and Ornidazole) twice a day for five days with increased intake of water around 4-5 liters a day.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You have to meet the gynecologist and get the investigations done and then get the medicines prescribed. These are not available over-the-counter. I would like to see the reports of the investigations before the prescription can be given.
