Brief Answer:
Seems to be due to hormone deprivation. HRT

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Since the urine tests are normal, you can leave urinary tract infection (UTI) out of your consideration. It seems that the burning sensation is due to hormone deprivation and the resultant vaginal dryness. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) will take care of the same. Take her to a gynecologist and discuss about the options.

she got the allergy and itching near private area
but now this is all right
but burning is still here
the urine culture and sensitivity have no growth and all report of urine is normal like colour SP. gravity pH protein pus sell crystals cast etc and ultrasound is normal
is this may be a cancer
but there is no leakage from vagina and no dirty urine only
burning at urine comes out point
she also take tablets for hormones

Brief Answer:
Fungal infection is a possibility.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.

As I mentioned, I still think it to be due to hormone deprivation. But a fungal infection is also probable. In such a case application of clotrimazole vaginal suppositories should provide relief. Combination suppositories containing tinidazole can also be used to control any anaerobic infections, if any. However, getting it confirmed by her gynecologist would be a better idea.

Brief Answer:
Brands mentioned

Detailed Answer:
CANDIGEM vaginal tab (Clotrimazole 200mg, tinidazole 500mg, povidone iodine 100mg, lactic acid bacillus 150 million spores) or clotina-v vaginal tab (Clotrimazole 200mg, tinidazole 500mg, lactic acid 150 million spores) may be what you are looking for. It has to be put inside the vagina. This is better than creams.

Try one of these and I think that she would get relief.
