What Causes Pain During Urination?
Question: Hi there doctor,
I am doing pretty well now. It seems like my bladder can not hold as much as it used to. Sometimes I have the urge to go and only a moderate amount of urine comes out. And I still have a little bit of pain in my urethra if I let my urine get too concentrated. (Like in the middle of the night when I’m not drinking water) I had to have my catheter replaced 3 times and I think it may have irritated my urethra. Do you know how long it will take for my urethra to heal? Thanks so much for inquiring about my health, I am staying optimistic that my bladder function will return to normal.
