Patient's question:
Hello, after taking emergency contraception, I experienced itching and urgency/pain during urination. Later, I took some metronidazole, which helped. However, after having sex with my boyfriend, the itching returned, and sometimes I still have urgency/pain during urination. My boyfriend is also itchy, and there is white discharge on his penis. What could be the cause, and what medication should I take?Doctor's answer:
Hello, frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary pain, and itching in the lower body may be related to vaginitis, or it could also be related to a urinary tract infection. Abnormal discharge from the glans may also be a sign of balanitis. It is recommended that both of you undergo relevant examinations and targeted treatment. During the treatment period, avoid sexual intercourse, maintain good personal hygiene, and avoid frequent use of birth control pills.
