Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to fungal (Yeast) infection. A swab test wll e helpful to confirm it. Urine routine and culture should be done to rule out urinary infection also. Using anti fungal ointments/creams like clotrimazole or miconazole for local application will be helpful to clear fungal infection. Take plenty of plain water. Barley water and cranberry juice are good to dilute urine and getting rid off burning sensation also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
