Brief Answer:
Please elaborate on the procedure.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com and thank you for posting your query.
Pyridium(Phenazopyridine) is a drug that is usually prescribed for pain in the urinary tract and it acts by relieving the spasm in the urinary tract associated with infection or inflammation that follows any procedure, so if you could elaborate a bit more on what procedure you underwent, I would be able to help you better.
Pyridium reduces pain for the first two days and may be not that helpful after the initial two days. There are other better alternatives like dicyclomine and Drotaverine if the pain is severe and may be considered if the pain is persisting.
A persisting pain after a procedure like cystoscopy could mean an infection too, so the proper approach in managing pain is to first rule out infection by getting a urine routine exam as well as urine culture and sensitivity.
You might need a course of antibiotics if presence of infection is proved.
I would advise you to kindly call your treating doctor and proceed further with investigations and get yourself treated accordingly.
I hope this addresses your concern adequately, however if you have any doubts or further queries, please do feel free to write back to me.
Wishing you speedy recovery.
Kind regards,
Please elaborate on the procedure.
