Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been having irritation in my vaginal area for about a week now. It is a little itchy and burns when I urinate. The only new thing I can think of is that I have used a different brand of tissue. I am not sexually active. And I have tested for pH in my vaginal, and it is normal. I also did one of the UTI tests at home, and it showed I have white blood cells in my urine but no nitrites.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You seem to have some vaginal or urinary infection causing the problem.

  1. Please get yourself checked by a gynecologist internally and get a vaginal swab test done.
  2. Avoid having sex till then.
  3. Wear cotton panties and loose lowers.
  4. Maintain personal hygiene and take plenty of fluids.
  5. Wash your private parts with normal tap water every time you use the washroom.
  6. Avoid using vaginal douches and creams.

Get back to me with reports so I can guide you further.

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