I don’t have pain at the start of urination, but do have INTENSE PAIN AS I FINISH EMPTYING MY BLADDER. What’s wrong?
You are probably experiencing bladder spasms. While this may happen after any surgery, it is most common after a hysterectomy. This usually improves gradually during the first several weeks after surgery. As long as you don’t have frequency, urgency or burning, this is not a problem. However, if the discomfort is bothersome to you, you may try “AZO-standard” over the counter. If this does not offer enough relief, medications may be prescribed temporarily.
