Hi,

Thanks for posting in HCM.

I understand your concern.

Frequent urination and irritation in vagina could persist for some time when you have bacterial infection and while you are on treatment.

Kindly complete the antibiotic course what you have started.
Along with it, kindly do the following to overcome other symptoms.
1. Wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon thrice daily.
2. Use vaginal pH balancing solution like 'v wash'.
3. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide proper ventilation and avoid friction.
4. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.

Maintain clean and good personal hygiene.

Gradually, your symptoms should subside and you should feel better.

Hope the information provided would be helpful.

All the best.
