Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Antibiotic helps to treat at a faster rate and prevents recurrence. Other general measures that may help are:

- drink adequate water.
- take very good care of personal hygiene.
- wash genital area thoroughly after using washroom.
- avoid sexual intercourse till you become healthy again.
- Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices and caffeine until your infection has cleared.
- Wipe from front to back. Doing so after urinating and after a bowel movement helps prevent bacteria in the anal region from spreading to the vagina and urethra.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
