I am having excessive thirst and urination with swollen fingers. What to do?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

All the symptoms you are describing are related to a urinary infection. Kindly let me know the following details so I can help you with your problem.

1. Do you have any white discharge from the vagina?

2. Is there any itching sensation around your urethra and vagina?

Please reply with the replies to tell you what to do next.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It appears to be a urinary infection with yeast infection of the perineum. Kindly do the following:

1. Get a routine urine examination, as this will show the presence of infection.

2. A blood sugar test to see the cause of yeast infection (as yeast infection increases with uncontrolled sugars).

Now, if you need, I can prescribe an empirical treatment for both. Kindly let me know if you need it.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I would suggest the following medications for urinary infection and advice:

1. Tablet Nitrofurantoin SR (sustained release) 100 mg, morning and night for five days after food, reduces the infection.
2. Tablet Urispas (Flavoxate) 200 mg thrice daily for three days after food to reduce the pain. Not to take if the pain subsides.
3. Candid V6 vaginal pessaries (keep it in your vagina after you pass urine before sleep for six days, you will see an increase in white discharge, but that is due to the tablets or pessaries melting, so do not worry).
4. If sexually active, kindly abstain from intercourse for one week till you finish the pessaries.
5. Take plenty of fluids.

Kindly get back to me with the urine routine and sugar test (before and after food).

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Hi,

I understand your concern.

Is this pain cyclic, as in, is it associated with your menstrual cycle? This medication is not a contraindication for COVID vaccine. Kindly go ahead and get vaccinated.

I hope this information will help you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The mild pain could be due to ovulation. Pain is usually limited to the ovary from which the ovum is released. Do not worry. I understand your comprehension regarding the vaccine. The COVID condition is very dire. Immunization with masks and social distancing is our only option to keep ourselves safe. The vaccines are very safe. Ninety-nine percent of people have mild side effects like fever, pain, and sometimes diarrhea. All symptoms are mild and very manageable. Another significant side effect, like blood clots, is rare. You and your husband are low-risk vaccination candidates and should not have any significant complications. So do not worry. Do get the vaccination done. People l who are vaccinated, even if they test positive for COVID-19, have very mild symptoms and, in most cases, would not require oxygen supplementation.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Nitrofurantoin can be taken as an alternative to Nitrofurantoin SR. So you can take that exact dosage.
