Well, having never had it before and being diagnosed over the phone (our doctor isn’t seeing anyone face to face) I’m assuming she is correct. Either way, the pain when passing urine is absolutely horrendous - I’ve never known stinging like it. And the whole area is burning and feels raw. It’s hurting just to sit down. Doctor has given me Canesten cream but is there anything else I am do/take to ease the pain? Sorry for delicate nature of question x
Doctor has called me back already. She says I have a severe urine infection and need antibiotics ASAP, so she has sent prescription direct to pharmacy.
Yes I will. This one seemed surprised that I wasn’t asked to drop a sample in yesterday. She said to try and wear a skirt or at least very very loose clothing and no underwear. And as soon as I’ve finished the antibiotics she wants to do another urine sample.
