What Causes Burning Sensation And White Discharge During Urination After Back Surgery?
I have had 2 back surgeries recently. After the 2nd surgery (some bone fragments entered the canal after a surgery to fuse L4 7 L5) I have been experiencing a change in the flow when i urinate along with a burning sensation (not painful) and what appears to be some whiteish material in the urine. the 2nd surgery did not involve a catheter. What could this be? Thank you.

Hi
Thanks for positng your query on HCM.
I have read and understood your concern.
The symptoms you describe point to a urinary tract infection/urethritis.I will advise you see the Doctor for examination.Tests like a urinalysis and a urethral swap smear test may be very helpful.Your treatment will depend on test results.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns.
