What Causes Burning Sensation During Urination After Uterus Removal?
It has been about 11 days since i had uterus and cervix removed. Since the 9th day I started experiencing burning when I urinate. It is not consistent, it occurs mostly in the evening and can be unbearable. What do i do to stop this or what could be the cause?

This is mostly due to urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections are the commonest bacterial infection in older people and the risk increases with age. UTI is common after gynecological surgery.
Advice
1. Drink plenty of water to flush out bacteria
2. Drink cranberry juice
3. Do not hold your urine. Urinate when you feel
4. Syrup alkaline citrate 2 teaspoonful three times daily for 1 week
5. Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily per oral for 7 days
6. Investigations – routine examination of urine, culture & sensitivity of urine
Thanks
