What Causes Swelling Below Urethral Opening?

I am 48 years old and 5 foot 9 inches. A week ago I started wanting to frequently urinate. I experienced a stinging sensation from the urethra following (not during) urination. This is died down a little but I have a slight swelling beneath the opening of the urethra. No discharge or anything like that. What could be the problem?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
I think it is due to urethritis
Other causes may be:
STDs
Vaginal cyst: skene's duct cyst, Blocked hair follicle, Blocked sweat gland, Fordyce cyst,Molluscum contagium.

Advice:
Take bath with warm salted water
Apply warm pad compression
Wear pure cotton loose inner wear
Apply apple cider vinegar
Antibiotic: tinidazole + metro + flucanazole
Wipe area after urination
Tablet septran
Drink plenty of waters
Do not delay in empty the bladeer
Take fruits like orange, cranberry and papaya
Use safer sex practice

If not resolves
Consult the gynecologist and undergo test like
Pelvic examination
PCR, NAAT, and ELISA for STDs
Cell culture of discharge

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
