3 Women’s Conditions That Can Be Treated via Online Consultations

Being a woman is not easy; from pregnancy and menopause to gynecological conditions, their bodies face many challenges. While it’s important to celebrate women and their achievements, we must also address the various health issues that concern them. Whether it’s irregular periods, excessive vaginal discharge, or even pain, it’s essential to see a doctor right away to avoid the development of any conditions. Here are some women’s health issues that can be treated via online consultations:

1.     Vaginal Yeast Infection

This is primarily a fungal infection in the vagina, causing irritation, discharge, and itchiness. According to statistics, 3 out of 4 women are affected by vaginal yeast infection at some point in their life. For most women, this occurs twice. Some common symptoms of this yeast infection include:

·         Itching and irritation in the vagina and vulva

·         burning sensation while urinating or during intercourse

2.     Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

Another common infection is urinary tract infection (UTI). This occurs in any part of your urinary system, such as your bladder, kidneys, urethra, and ureters. However, the most common causes of UTI involve the bladder and the urethra. If the infection is in your bladder, you might experience pain and discomfort; however, there can be more severe consequences if this spreads to your kidneys. Some common signs of UTI are a solid urge to urinate, burning sensation while urinating, cloudy appearance of urine, blood in the urine, pungent odor of urine, and pain in the pelvic region.

At GetCareMD, UTI’s are being treated with:

·         Cephalexin

·         Trimethoprim

·         Other effective antibiotics

If the case is severe and has spread to the kidneys, our doctors might subscribe to antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. This includes Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and Levofloxacin (Levaquin). Other prescribed medicines might help that numb the bladder and urethra to help reduce the pain intensity.

3.    Bacterial Vaginosis & Vaginitis

According to the CDC, more than 21 million women between the ages of 14 to 49 years are affected by bacterial vaginosis. Vaginosis is an infection of the vagina, and Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina. This inflammation can be triggered by vaginosis or other reasons such as allergies, irritants, or decreased estrogen levels. Vaginitis is extremely common and usually occurs in the child-bearing age of women.

Some common symptoms are itching sensation, burning around the vulva, pain in the vaginal region, and abnormal vaginal discharge. Some women note a fishy smell that is evident after intercourse or during their mensuration period.
