Vaginal Infection During Pregnancy: BV vs. UTI - Symptoms & Relief


Question
I am 17 wks pregnant and have been diagnosed with a vaginal infection.  I am on day 6 of a 7 day treatment of (Dalacin)clindamycin vaginal cream and have seen an improvement but I am still experiencing a constant burning when I urinate and feel a constant urge to urinate.  My question is:  Is it just vaginosis or do i have a uti as well?  or is the treatment not working?  please help!

Answer
Hello Jamie- be sure you are drinking 2-3 litres of water every day, take cranberry extract capsules- NOT the juice- it is full of sugar and only "feeds the bugs". Finish the current treatment first and then re-assess the situation. All the best- Cheri.
