A member asked:

You : You could be dealing with a urinary tract infection (UTI) or a vaginitis from bacteria or yeast. Another possibility is vaginal atrophy which can cause vaginal dryness, burning (especially with urination) and irritation. My advice is for you to consult your family doctor or gynecologist for an evaluation and treatment. Best of luck.
