Done Hysterectomy. Have Herniated Discs, Back Pain. Should I See A Urologist?

Well, I had a hysterectomy with removal of ovaries and cervix too....now, every time I get in the shower, if I am not careful and do a 30 or 40 minute Kegel, I end up with a UTI....I think a lot in the shower and so, sometimes, I relax....and especially because I have an upcoming hip replacement as well as herniated discs....the surgeon keeps asking me if I had an accident...no gelatin left in between my discs, however, I only had back pain after my first failed hip replacement. 3 weeks post surgery, I was back in the OR having a hip revision....I was 46 then, I'm 51 now. Should I see a Urologist? I'm in chronic pain in my hips, my spine and now, my female parts...I can't take much more...the UTI's are worse than anything else...

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

For recurrent urinary infection needs to be evaluated, need to find out cause for it. treating underlying cause will help.
It could be due to vesico ureteric reflux or renal stones. Get usg abdomen done and X-ray of KUB region. consult urologist for further management.
Hope I answered your question.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
