Is Sharp Ripping Pain In The Urethra A Matter Of Concern?
I had a VP shunt placed 2 weeks ago. I have had some horrible pain in my lower abdomen. The did a CT and the surgeon called me to come back in the CT revealed I have gas in my urinary tract. If I cough, I get serious sharp ripping pain from my uretha. Is this something I need to be concerned with? The pain hurts really all into my perineal area.
