Can strep strain cause UTI and sore throat?
Patient: I have been dating a guy for about a month now and we have been sexually active. He just told me that he has the B strain of strep throat, which his doctor told him was caused from oral sex. Does this mean I have strep as well? I ve been having UTI symptoms for the past year now and itching on the outer part of my vagina, would this be caused by the strep strain? Doctor: HelloUrinary tract infections can be caused by streptococci infection. It is possible for these infections to coexist and one causing the other. Do consult your doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment by the use of appropriate antibiotics.Thank you for writing to health care magic.
