Is It Normal To Have Itching Around The Urethra?
Hello - I ve been having recurring yeast infections. I was treated in December with an oral antibiotic (1 pill per week for 3 weeks). Last week, I treated myself with a 1 day treatment. I went to the doctor this week on Tuesday & she put me on a 7 day treatment that required a prescription. Is it normal to still have itching around the urethra? This symptom has been nearly constant since December.

No, it is not normal to have itching once the infection is treated, This indicates that the organism was not sensitive to the antibiotic you had taken.
I would suggest taking the new antibiotic s for a longer period so take it for 2 weeks instead of 1 week.
A second consultation with a different physician could also help to give you the right diagnoses.
