My wife has been dealing with an itchy, uncomfortable feeling down there for about 15 days now, and she sometimes can't resist scratching. There's also some pain in that area. We saw a doctor who asked for a urine test and gave her some medicine, which I've attached to this message. I'm worried because it's still not getting better. Plus, after we have sex, she feels even more itchy and irritated. What should we do?

it could be due to acidity.....take ppi medicine... do consult your doctor
