Thank you again for your response. I have one last question. Besides the fungus, what else could it be? A urethritis? Thank you for your help.

Dr. med. Ive Dr. Schaaf

An isolated urethritis practically does not occur in women. The urethra is so short that inflammation almost inevitably ascends into the bladder. Therefore, I would not consider this possibility.

Based on your history with multiple antibiotics, the suspicion is high that it is a fungal infection. Alternatively, mechanical irritations or an infection by bacteria or viruses could also be possible, but with significantly lower probability.

Best regards,
