Question 2

Accepted Answer

Group B strep: Group B strep commonly is in the vagina, and you can assume that if urine is positive. If symptoms of UTI, your doc will treat you. The main GBS problem is serious infections of babies if present in the vagina during delivery. Make sure your obststrician is aware; she will test with a vaginal swab as your due date approaches and will prescribe an appropriate antibiotic if present at that time.

Question 3

how do you know if group b strep is causing a uti? tests? have group b strep in urine, but am heavily colonized and could be contamination from vagina

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: To confirm UTI is based on history + urinalysis + urine culture. History raises the concern of possible UTI; UA + U-culture are to confirm, but always using properly collected urine specimen so to avoid contamination as you mentioned. Clinically, strep B may cause UTI but rare since all bacteria are opportunistic to reflect personal unique defense ability. For detail, ask your doctor timely.

Question 4

can you get herpes from urine? if it gets around your vagina

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Anything is possible, but herpes genetalis is a sexually transmitted disease and usually requires direct contact skin to skin.  It can of course be transmitted by oral sex as well.

Question 5

got a golden shower & urine went in my vagina, can i get trichomonas?

Accepted Answer

Probably no risk: Almost no chance at all. You're at little or no risk for trichomonas or any other STD without intercourse.

Question 6

urine accidentally got in my vagina during sex what will happen to me is it bad?

Accepted Answer

Nothing important: Unless your partner has infected urine (he should have known about that and at least worn a condom), the bulk of the urine will exit quickly and what little is left will cause no problem as the vagina is very capable of protecting itself.

Question 7

what is this clear string or discharge coming out from my vagina? it came out after my urine.

Accepted Answer

Cervical mucus: A clear string or discharge coming out of your vagina after urinating is most likely cervical mucus. At the time of ovulation the cervical mucus becomes profuse and egg white-like. The length to which it will string out is actually one of the things looked for in fertility testing. Hope this helps.

Question 8

can wiping your vagina from front to back cause you to have vagina irritation ? if so can it be from the urine on your tissue ?

Accepted Answer

No: Wiping front to back is the proper way to wipe, make sure you are not using any scented, medicated wipes which can sometimes lead to vaginal irritation

Question 9

during intercourse i am unable to penitrate her, it seems that her vagina is a very nellow hole, is there sep. holes for urine & intercourse....

Accepted Answer

Yes: Urine comes from the clitoris, like a very small penis at the top of the vagina.  Intercourse is in the vagina. She definitely should see a gynecologist  who can tell you both whats going on with the bad fit.

Question 10

i m getting irritation in my vagina when i go to washroom n also there is a feeling that i have to go to washroom again n again but d urine didn't come?

Accepted Answer

UTI? STD/STI?: An "irritation" in your vagina could represent a urinary tract infection, sexually transmitted disease/infection, or some other condition, eg yeast infection (doubt atrophic vaginitis given your age). The fact that you have to "go to washroom again n again" suggests a bladder/kidney infection, especially if it hurts to urinate (pee). Best to go see your family doc to get checked out.
