Patient's question:
Hello! I am 24 years old, female, and have been experiencing urinary urgency and frequency for nearly three months. At first, the symptoms were quite severe, accompanied by a burning sensation. I received three days of intravenous drip treatment and took some anti-inflammatory medications (such as ciprofloxacin), which significantly alleviated the symptoms. However, they returned once I stopped the medication. I had a similar issue last year, but it resolved after taking some anti-inflammatory medications. What is the cause of my condition, and how should it be treated? Additionally, I would like to know whether the multiple urine bacterial cultures mentioned online refer to collecting urine samples multiple times on the same day or at intervals of several days. Can urine bacterial cultures be performed if I am taking medication or receiving injections?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Urine bacterial culture is to check what kind of bacteria it is, and we can prescribe medication targeting this bacterium to achieve the most ideal treatment result. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects a woman's life but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a routine check-up, identify the cause, and then treat accordingly. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
