Are my symptoms due to UTI or something else?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your post and images (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

• You seem to have an infection involving the urogenital tract, for which an antibiotic has been started which is a bit age-old.

• I would suggest the following:

1. Urine examination and a swab culture from your vaginal bump.
2. A complete blood count to look for systemic manifestations of the infection.
3. Urine culture and an ultrasonogram of the abdomen.

• You need to start a better antibiotic, preferably a Quinolone such as Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily as there is no improvement with Cefalexin.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the images you had attached (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

• Herpes starts with itching and vaginal pain followed by the development of vesicles in the vaginal area, usually multiple, which are fluid-filled. Your post does not mention such a history and I could not see any vesicles on the images you have posted.

• If your CBC is normal that means it is a local infection, not a systemic one. So, it should respond to oral Ciprofloxacin.

Regards.
