Dear ladies,
I'd love some advice if possible - I've had about a week now of very painful symptoms, mainly burning pain in the urethra (sorry if TMI) and the urge to urinate much more often. I wasn't sure if it was a UTI but in the end phoned the GP who triaged me over the phone and prescribed nitrofurantoin for 3 days. After the three days there was no real improvement, so another GP prescribed another 3 day course of something different, which I've just finished and again the symptoms haven't improved. In desperation I have phoned again today and the GP was very sympathetic and said that he thought it was definitely a UTI which was resistant to the first two antibiotics so has prescribed a third and asked me to drop in a sample on Monday morning.
I'm feeling very worried about the intensity of the burning - but I had also run out of HRT about 10 days ago so am wondering if that is a factor. Has anyone had symptoms similar to this and found it was VA rather than a UTI? Also does anyone have any tips for how to reduce the pain?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but could do with some help! Thankyou x
