Below refers to the genital area. A burning or stinging sensation in the genital area may be caused by vaginal inflammation, urinary tract infections, balanitis, or other reasons. It is recommended to seek medical attention and receive targeted treatment based on the cause. Details are as follows:
1. Vaginal Inflammation: A decrease in resistance allows pathogenic bacteria to infect the vagina and cause an inflammatory reaction, leading to symptoms such as burning and stinging sensations at the vaginal opening, itching of the external genitalia, increased vaginal discharge with an odor, etc. If it is caused by vulvovaginal candidiasis, intravaginal treatment with drugs such as clotrimazole suppositories or nystatin suppositories can be given. If it is trichomoniasis, treatment with drugs such as metronidazole suppositories or ornidazole tablets can be given.
2. Urinary Tract Infection: For example, urethritis can cause redness, swelling, burning, and stinging sensations at the urethral opening, accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and urgent urination. Treatment with antibiotics such as cefaclor tablets or amoxicillin tablets can be given for anti-infectious purposes.
3. Balanitis: Local infection of the glans penis causes an inflammatory reaction, resulting in burning and stinging sensations. Treatment can be given with drugs such as mupirocin ointment or erythromycin ointment. If there is phimosis, circumcision surgery may be necessary if indicated.
