A member asked:

On cephalexin for uti. use azo to stop the urge for urination. could using these 2 together cause vaginal dryness? i noticed the dryness first and i believe the itchiness came from it being dry down there and me always being up and moving.

Yeast?: Being "dry down there" might be ayeast infection, which can be triggered by antibiotics like cephalexin. Discuss with the doctor treating you for UTI.
