Burning only after urinating?
My story starts about two weeks before Thanksgiving. I went on Augmenten (sp?) for a sinus infection. While on my 5/7th day I started to get a burning sensation when I peed. I thought it was a yeast infection so I treated it over the counter with Monistat one night treatment. It seemed to get better.. and then it came back. I went to the gynocologist and was told I had Bacterial Vaginosis, and was given a three-day treatment of oral Flagyl. I seemed fine for awhile, but then the burning after urination came back around mid-december. It did not go away. Then, I got a UTI, which was treated with Cipro(i think). Then not long after I went to the gynocologist and was told I had yeast. I was treated with the one-day pill for yeast. The burning went away for 5 days, then came back. Then I was put on Terconizole (sp?) vaginal suppository for 3 days.. it didn’t go away. So I called my gyno and I was then given a 5 day regiment of Metronidazole gel suppository. I’ve now taken it for three days, and while I have improvement, I sitll have the burning. It ONLY burns after I urinate, and my labia and vaginal opening burn, not up inside. It burns for awhile and then goes away. I do not have a UTI, seeing as I self-treat myself for them now since my gynocologist gave me the prescription for it..
Has anyone had anythign similar happen, or know what I can do to help. I haven’t been able to have sex with my boyfriend for almost a month and I haven’t gone a day without some sort of burning. Help!!!
and p.s I have been taking probiotic acidopholus (sp?)
I would like to add that I’ve had enough UTIs this past year to know it isn’t one now.. Plus I have the selftreat meds for it which didn’t make it better. It’s burning on my vagina… UTI is in the urethra and up.

yup, UTI (urinary tract infection) try drinking a lot of cranberry juice for the next few days for a cheap fix, it restabalizes the natural bacteria in your vagina, there are also over the counter pills called AZO that can be helpful. If after a few days it still burns you will have to see a doctor for an anti-biotic.
yes you have a uti also known as urinary track infection its from the anti-biotic
first of all i would suggest u change the brand of toilet paper u use, this could cause i irritation, i was told this and it helped. the reason is certain papers have perfume in them which can cause iirritation
2nd, get your selfyogurt this helps with fighting off infection , because of acidophlis , which aids in killing germs.
another is make sure u don’t have any critters down their they will cause itching and burning.
you pick these up from toilet seat in public bathrooms, suggest carrying wipes with u and wipe down the toilets…….
also give your new med more days to work if not better go back to ur doc.
