Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I've been experiencing itching in the vulvar region, along with pain and a burning sensation while urinating, for the past week. I'm concerned about these symptoms and would like to know what might be causing them and how I should proceed.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Your symptoms could be caused by a mixed infection, a yeast infection like Candida, or a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It’s important to get checked by a healthcare professional, or you can use a self-test kit to help identify the cause. Based on the test results, treatment can be tailored to address the underlying issue. Additionally, if there's a family history of diabetes, it may be a good idea to get tested for that as well.

 

Thanks
