I am experiencing a burning sensation around my anal and urethral area for the past 24 hours, especially near the toilet and during urination. I also have itching in the same area. I have a small urinary stone, but after consulting two urologists, the burning persists. I have undergone ultrasound, blood, and urine tests, which were mostly normal. Which specialist should I consult next, urologist, proctologist (for piles/fissure), or another type of doctor?

Symptoms may be due to urethral irritation, fissure, or infection. A wound at the meatus may point to external trauma or infection. Consider getting evaluated by both a urologist and proctologist.
