Pain no longer subsides. It is now across the buttocks as well as private area. Severe burning sensation. Abdominal area feels swollen. Visited urologist today and bladder problem was denied.

Brief Answer:
Nerve related cause likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The pain and burning in the genital area with no detectable calculus and a sterile urine culture is likely to be due to a nerve related cause. This can happen due to age related disc degeneration causing a nerve root compression at the level of spine. Proper diagnosis needs an MRI scan of the spine under the guidance of a neurologist. This can subside after taking methylcobalamin supplements. You can get these prescribed from her neurologist.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
