Question : Hi.

I have a burning sensation in the viagina and also little while passing urine.

I am worried I might have a UTI.
Can I apply candid cream as a precaution? Thanks

Brief Answer:
UTI with Vaginitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
Burning sensation in vagina indicates vaginitis possibly fungal or bacterial , but burning in urine indicates a UTI possibly. Candid can be temporarily applied for a possible fungal cause but it is unlikely to benefit you if the cause is bacterial. Moreover it will not help in UTI. You would need to get a high vaginal swab culture and a urine culture done to isolate the organisms.
Regards
