What could inflamed and sore vulva with painful urination suggest?
Patient: Hi. I am 39 years old. For the last year i have had a very sore, itchy and inflammed vulva. It sometimes hurts when i urinate and it passes the vulva. I have recently had menopause tests as my periods have become very sketchy and irregular. None of the canestan creams are workind. i generally apply them evert two hours. I have only had one partner in twenty years so i don't think it can be anything too serious. Have you any idea's as it is becoming increasingly more painful. Doctor: the symptoms are suggestive of UTI due to vulvo-vaginitis. UTIs are common in females of your age due to short urethra. i suggest you to get a urine r/m test and also culture sensitivity of the urine and start antibiotics accordingly
