Lap Hysterectomy Done. Started Getting Stomach Pain After Few Days. Worried For UTI?

It does sound like a UTI - lower urinary tract infection, limited to the urethra and bladder, pain radiates to the that area.
An upper urinary tract infection ,involving the upper part of the bladder, the ureter or the kidneys, would radiate to the area you have described.
Based on your symptoms, they would order a complete urine examination - urine routine and microscopic examination, complete urine culture, and imaging of the urinary Tract and kidneys.
Also, it would help me to know what was the histopathological report of your previous surgeries.
You would need a Pap smear of the vaginal vault, if the cervix is removed.
Apart from that, routine blood work, hormonal levels as your ovaries are removed, thyroid levels and blood sugars as they should be routinely done.
You could have your calcium and vitamin D levels assessed, as post hysterectomy, they frequently fall and might need supplementation.
Take care, and feel free to ask for further clarifications.


You could just scan the last page which would show the inference, not the entire description.
Only then would I be able to tell if a CA 125 was in order.
Merely a CBC would give you hardly any idea.
You need to get everything that I described done, particularly the urine analysis and imaging.
Take care.
