Brief Answer:
residual urine infection is a possibility.
Detailed Answer:
Hello loveridge and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
Your symptoms have started one month after the ovarian cyst surgery.
Main symptoms are frequency of urination,incomplete passing of urine,
with spasmodic pain in the local area.
You will need following measures done,for an expert opinion,on further treatment :
1. See an Urologist and get examined.
2. urine culture test report.(should be shown here, if done).
3. Blood routine,creatinine,RBS,and LFT.
4. Ultrasound scan of abdomen and pelvis,with residual urine.
Drink 10-12 glasses fluids daily.
After giving urine for culture test,you may start Ciprofloxacin twice daily.
Syrup Citralka twice daily, also helps in relieving the pain you have.
Tablet Flavoxate twice daily, is very helpful, if spasms or contractions are severe.
After going through the reports,i can give you an expert opinion.
Wish you good health.
