Hi and tthanks you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this burning during urination. This often suggest a urinary infection and you would need antibiotics to get treated. Only your treating doctor can prescribe these medications. Please, get consulted and treated while it is still simple before it gets complicated.

After splenctomy, you are prone to infections cause by germs like Haemophilus, salmonella, pnemococcus, etc. Talk with your doctor and get vaccinated against these according to the local counsels.

I wish you well. I hope this helps.
