Introduction
Sore throat generally does not cause genital inflammation, so there is no need to worry excessively. Sore throat usually results from local irritation or inflammatory infection, and may manifest as stabbing pain, roughness, burning sensation, or a feeling of a foreign body in the throat area. It is generally unrelated to genital inflammation. Genital inflammation may occur due to urethral injury, which compromises the defensive function of the urethral mucosa.

Throat pain usually results from local irritation or inflammatory infection, and may manifest as stabbing pain, roughness, burning sensation, or a feeling of a foreign body in the throat. It is typically unrelated to genital inflammation. Genital inflammation may occur due to urethral injury impairing the mucosal defense function, leading to bacterial infection. It could also be caused by foreign bodies or stones in the urethra, resulting in urine retention and subsequent infection.

When experiencing throat pain or genital inflammation, patients are advised to undergo appropriate examinations under a doctor's guidance to identify the underlying cause and receive timely treatment, thus preventing disease progression and increased treatment difficulty.
