I am experiencing a red rash outside the vagina along with painful urination. I had a urine test, which was positive for a bacterial infection. I also did a TORCH 8 test, and the result for CMV IgG is reactive at 285?U/mL. Could you please help me understand what exactly I am suffering from?

Painful urination, red rash, and positive urine test indicate urinary tract infection (UTI) or local irritation/infection. CMV IgG reactive means past infection with CMV it is not an active issue now. CMV IgM would be high in recent infection; yours is likely old immunity. UTI can be treated with the right antibiotics. Visit a gynaecologist if rash or pain continues.

Hello Doctor, my wife has been experiencing itching in the clitoral area for the past 15 days, which is sometimes difficult for her to resist. She also feels pain in that area. We consulted a doctor, who suggested a urine test and prescribed medication. I have attached both the lab report and the prescription. Please advise, as the symptoms have not yet resolved. Additionally, after sexual activity, she experiences itching or irritation in the same area.

I am experiencing a burning sensation around my anal and urethral area for the past 24 hours, especially near the toilet and during urination. I also have itching in the same area. I have a small urinary stone, but after consulting two urologists, the burning persists. I have undergone ultrasound, blood, and urine tests, which were mostly normal. Which specialist should I consult next, urologist, proctologist (for piles/fissure), or another type of doctor?
