If you have a urinary tract infection along with severe itching, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible. While a urinary tract infection can cause burning during urination, frequent urination, and lower abdominal discomfort, severe itching is not a typical symptom. Itching may indicate another condition, such as a vaginal yeast infection, a bacterial infection, a sexually transmitted infection, or an allergic reaction, which may require different treatment. Your doctor may recommend a urine test and, if needed, a vaginal examination or other tests to identify the exact cause. Avoid self-treating with antibiotics or antifungal medicines without medical advice. Drink plenty of water, maintain good intimate hygiene, and avoid using scented soaps or other products that may irritate the area. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop fever, chills, severe back pain, blood in the urine, or worsening symptoms, as these may indicate a more serious infection.
