Hello!

Thank you for the query.

First thing you should think of is urinary tract infection caused by the catheter placed in your bladder. This catheter is a potential source of bacteria.
Symptoms you have including pain radiating to the groin, burning are characteristic for urinary tract infection. Other possible symptoms are fever and lower abdominal pain.
I suggest you to visit your doctor and have antibiotic prescribed. In a meanwhile, urine analysis and urine culture test should be done.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
