Patient's question:
I went to the hospital yesterday for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis. The doctor then prescribed topical cleansing medication and medication for application. Previously, I had experienced itching in the external genital area, abnormal vaginal discharge, and urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain, but without hematuria. After the examination yesterday, I followed the doctor's instructions to cleanse and apply the medication. However, this morning when I went to the bathroom, I noticed blood in my urine, and there was quite a bit of it.What kind of help is needed: Is there a connection between hematuria and candidal vulvovaginitis? Could it be serious? How should it be treated, and what precautions should be taken?
Doctor's answer:
Friend, vaginal inflammation and the urinary system are entirely different systems, they are separate paths, completely unrelated! If a thorough examination reveals vaginal inflammation, it is normal to perform cleaning and medication. You mentioned having symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria, which are issues related to the urinary system! Friend, I suggest you get a urinalysis done, as besides dysuria and hematuria, you may also need to have an abdominal X-ray to understand the detailed situation.
