Diagnosed With UTI, Relief From AZO. Have Vaginal Inflammation, Taken Ibuprofen. Have Vaginal Pain. Suggest?
Question: About a week ago I was diagnosed with a UTI... I was taking AZO the maximum relief one, and I still don't have relief! My clitoris became huge and purple, so I took some ibuprofen to help the inflammation (since I figured it's a side effect of AZO) Now, I pee constantly, I started my period for one day, I was drinking water and I threw up all the water I had just drank... and I have been having some orgasmic like throbbing with my clitoris and my vaginal walls, also my walls are so swollen (and I am positive about this because I put only one finger in there!) it's a painful throbbing not so much orgasmic. I haven't been able to do anything or get up because it's so painful. I only have one sex partner and he is clean. Please help!
Hi, welcome to healthcare magic.
AZO is a pain reliever, used to treat pain, burning, increased urination, and increased urge to urinate.
It only treats the symptoms of gastric upset, thus should be taken with food and with a full glass of water.
Do not use this drug for more than two days.
I advise you to have a complete urine analysis and a urine culture and sensitivity, in order to properly treat the urinary tract infection.
As for the throbbing and swelling, yes it may be a side effect of the drug but it should resolve after you stop it.
If these symptoms persist or worsen, you should visit your doctor to examine you.
I am interested to know the result of your urine tests and doctor examination to discuss with you the treatment options.
I hope I have answered your query and will be happy to answer more questions.
Good luck.
