What Causes Pain While Urinating And Swelling Of Clitoris?
My 2.5 year old daughter constantly complains of pain while urinating. Three different times she's had her urine tested and has come back negative for a UTI. I've noticed for the past few months that the area near her urethral opening/clitoris seems swollen on one side. I pointed it out to her doctor, but I don't feel like he gave it more than a cursory glance and told me to not use soap when washing her. Help!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The common condition for such pain and swelling in the absence of urinary infection is Urethral caruncle appearance.
I would recommend an examination with a pediatric surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
