Urinary tract infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Your symptoms clearly indicate urinary tract infection. It may be associated with recent colonoscopy. Please note that loose stools can cause urinary tract infection. And before colonoscopy intestines should be cleaned. Such cleaning results with lots of liquids stools. This might be the factor of the infection.
I suggest you to have urine analysis done. Antibiotic might be necessary. You should also increase mineral water intake and start cranberries supplementation.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

I also had banding done on hemorrhoids. Had some relief this morning from a long hot shower. The pain actually went away for a couple of hours but has come back now.

Turned out I had a cramp which had locked in some gas from the colonoscopy..Took some diazapan and finally relaxed the cramp and the pain went.

Well, but still UTI should be considered. If the urge to urinate will be still present, urine analysis should be done anyways.
