Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Examination: Urethral burning and tenderness to touch are concerning symptoms for infection. Consider seeing an Obgyn or primary care doctor for a pelvic examination to evaluate the area. A Urinalysis should also be done to look for bladder infections
