urethra pain after hysterectomy?
Hello
I am 40 yrs old, 2 kids.
I had a complete hysterectomy on 04-06-09, Lap/assisted hyst.
I am taking hormones called estratest.
When I woke up from surgery, I complained of pain in the urethra, I kept telling the nurse and that i felt like I needed to pee, she kept telling me "you have a catether"!...like I was a stupid person..
one week after my surgery I went to see my OBGYN for the same pain, he gave me cypro thinking I had a UTI
it did not help, I went back to the clinic and was given a 2nd kind of antibiotics, did not help.
results of urine test came back: negative, no UTI
after that I had a HUGE yeast infection, very bad...took 2 rounds of cream to get this fixed
I was still having the same pain in urethra and it was worst....so dr gave me a very strong antibiotic and the red pill (forget the name) to numb the bladder...it did not help one bit
the pain I have is very sharp like I have a blade in there and it is burning in the opening of the urethra and goes all the way up, It is very bad after urinating, pain is less when bladder is full, I have pain in the lower abdomen now from this.
I do hurt when I pee and sometimes only a small amount of urine comes out but it does not really feel like a UTI, the pain is really in the urethra....and I have it all the time...it is so bad It gives me nausea and migraines now
could this be from the surgery?
I have not have many infections prior to this...
could this be from the hormones I take?
should I stop taking those ?
any help is appreciated
thank you for reading

Did they by chance put a stent in your urethra, Im having the very same symptoms right now but they cut my bladder and put in a stent
it is very common for women to get some form of a uti after being cath. so I do understand why your docs thought that, I am going to suggest that you try reposting this under the urology ( bladder) forum you may get a different perspective that helps you, pain, itching and hesitancy to pee as well as burning are all classic UTI signs,,the only other thing that comes to mind is if perhaps you had a very narrow urethra there may have been a bit of traums due to the cath itself, but that would be unususal , your symptoms are puzzling to me as they do point to UTI,,thats why I am suggesting the urology forum, they might offer a different idea..God Bless, Cherie
