Hi,
I am sorry to know about your problems. If you are again developing pain while passing urine, that could mean a persistent urinary infection. Sometimes, the microorganism causing the infection is not eradicated with a course of antibiotics. You need to have a urine microscopy test to confirm the infection. If the infection is persisting, you need a urine culture and sensitivity test for exactly finding out the offending organism and to know the appropriate medicines which can cure the infection. An ultrasound of kidneys and bladder is required to know any other underlying pathology which could lead to persistence of the infection.
I hope I have answered your query. I can help you better if I can know your age, sex and any co-morbid conditions like diabetes.
Wish you a speedy recovery,
Best regards,
Dr. Raguram Ganesamoni
