- sexually transmitted infection with secondary effects
- genital hygiene related issue
- a systemic symptom of uncontrolled blood sugar or low immune status
- a side effect of certain medications
- low hydration status
* Depending upon the intensity of the infection, it can cause a variety of issues for a particular person as
- burning urination
