What Causes Burning While Urination After The Catheter Tube Insertion?
Hello Dr. Grief Today I had a catherder tube inserted into my penis to inject BGC into my bladder. The Dr. had difficulty inserting the tubing and I am experiencing burning when urinating. I have some meds left over Hydrocodone dated 2/2014. Can I take one even though out of date to help me sleep.

Hello
Thanks for query.
Burning while passing urine is mainly due to inhjury to urethra while passing catheter .
Do not take any out dated medication instead take Brufen which is freely available on the counter of medical store.
Get your routine urine test done to rule out UTI and consult Urologist for evaluation and further treatment.
Ensure to drink more water.
