Have noticed over the last 2 weeks that there are moments throughout the day especially when I have had to hold on, that after I urinate I have a terrible burning sensation that lasts for about 15-30 minutes. I decided to go see Dr and gave him a urine sample and he said it looked clear but he would send it to Pathology just in case. He gave me a script for a cream called Hydrozole which I am meant to put on the area 3 times a day. I have not suffered with Thrush many times in my life maybe 3 times at the most. But I have no itching and I have the usual discharge you get when your pregnant so I didn't think it would be that. Has anyone else had this and do you know why it is happening? Is it because I pee so much or perhaps a possible bladder infection? Just a bit worried...
it could be a UTI (urinary tract infection). but that said the pathology ppl will let u know and if it is an infection, its treated with antibiotics that are safe in pregnancy. I know its worrying, i was worried when it happened to me too..
Also i was told to be extreamly careful in treating thrush if ur under 12 weeks.. just a little info. (ps u will find it says that on the box tho.. eg, canesten)
HTH
sounds like a UTI to me too. that is quite common in oregnancy.. did you get your results back yet? i have never heard of applying hydrozole to that area before.
I will have to call my GP on Sunday for the results. Can a UTI hurt the baby at all or cause any problems to the pregnancy? I hope it clears by itself before 2 July when I have my first scan, cause its not real nice having a full bladder!
It kind of sounds like a UTI but in my experience the stinging usually only lasts for a few seconds after urinating. I'd be waiting to see what the pathology results are before proceding with anything else.
Can a UTI hurt your baby or have an effect on the pregnancy? I thought it could be a slight case of thrush. But like you said I will call the DR and see what the Pathology results are on Sunday and see what to do next. I hope it goes away by itself cause antibiotics never really sit well with me, they usually make me sick and so I usually do everything to avoid them.
Thanks
Hi Puppies, sounds to me like a mild case of thrush, I had those symptoms too at 10wks and I used collloidal silver both externally and internally as well as taking probiotics and it went within 2 days. As a nutritionist I would advise avoiding all medication while pregnant, in fact I advise avoiding most medications if possible even when not pregnant! Obviously there are times they are necessary but its always best to try the natural route first and only use medication as a last resort. Some meds are considered 'safe' for use during pregnancy but they still affect you at a cellular level and deplete you of nutrients such as essential fatty acids. If you do end up having to go on antibiotics it is important to also take probiotics and fish oil capsules.
If its not a UTI, it could be high acidity (sp?) in your urine. I have had this a few times before & during my PG. You can use something like Urals or Citravescent (tastes better than Urals) & that is an akaliser (sp?) So its supposed to sop the burning/stinging sensation
Burning after urination, anyone else suffer this?
