What Causes Painful Urination After Removal Of The Appendix?

my daughter who is 7 years old, had her appendix removed on November 15th, a few days after surgery, she started experiencing pain when urinating. We told her to the doctor on Monday Nov 20th, they tested her urine, no infection. Took her to the surgeons office the next day, since her urine test was negative for infection they said that they didn t know, that the pain could be from the surgery. She is still experiencing pain when she urinates, should I took her to the ER?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms can be related to the soreness of urethra after the surgery.
The urethra may still be sore from the catheter that was inserted while she were anesthetized.
I suggest you to give time for recovery .
Meanwhile you can use painkillers like ibuprofen 400 mg in case of pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
