Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my vagina, having abnormal discharge, and frequently needing to use the restroom. I go to the toilet more than ten times a day, and it's quite frequent. There's also a stinging sensation during urination, feeling like a burning sensation, which is very uncomfortable. I plan to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow.Doctor's answer:
Hello: First, it is necessary to rest in bed, drink more water, and avoid stimulating foods. Hot sitz baths can improve perineal blood circulation and alleviate symptoms. Alkaline drugs such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium citrate can lower urine acidity and relieve bladder spasms. Flavoxate salt can relax spasms and reduce urinary irritation symptoms. Traditional 10–14-day antibiotic therapy is not necessary for uncomplicated cystitis. Both domestically and internationally, single-dose high-dose or 3-day short-course treatments are recommended.
