Later that day, I started to have UTI symptoms, so I went to the clinic, and I indeed had an UTI. She put me on a 7-day treatment of
Cipro. I went to the gyno the next day, July 24, because I was concerned about the scratch. By then, the yellow discharge subsided and the swelling went down. She looked at the irritated area and took a culture. She said that it looked like herpes because the area appeared to be an open ulcer. She put me on a 5-day treatment of Valtrex.
