The urinary passages include the ureters, bladder and urethra. Urine flows from both kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. The urethra channels the urine outward from the bladder.
The external female genital organs include the labia, the clitoris and the skin around the vagina. The internal female genital organs include the uterus, the fallopian tubes and ovaries. The vagina is also one of the internal genital organs and goes from the uterus to the outside of the body.
A genital organ inflammation or a urinary tract inflammation can be caused by a variety of pathogens.
An inflamed urinary tract can cause you to have pain in the lower abdomen. You can also find passing urine painful or more difficult. You may also need to pass urine very frequently or find that the urine is bloody. Inflamed external genitals can cause them to itch or be sore. The inflamed area can also be red and swollen. However, you may also have few or no symptoms at all.
