Lower Abdominal Pain Due To Hysterectomy. Burning Urination, Swollen Vaginal Opening. Reason?

I am 48, had f/c hysterectomy at 40. I have noticed on and off for about 1-1 1/2 wks now a mild pain in my lower right abdominal area (almost felt like i did when I was ovulating). Now tonight when I went to go pee I all of a sudden experienced severe burning and pain like some one dipped a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol then wiped me with it......I was in extreme pain...and now my vaginal opening is starting to swell. What could this possibly be caused from. And why all of a sudden with no other symptoms prior to tonight except mild pain in lower right abdominal area?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear bout these symptoms and hope we find a quick solution to help you get over these worries.

From the information you have provided, i am concerned that you have a vaginal infection. The description of your pains point more towards an irritation from the urine than a painful urination. Also, these symptoms and infections is unrelated to the surgery. This will require that you get consulted by your OBGYN for a complete physical exam. Depending on the findings, you may go on to provide a specimen for laboratory analysis from the vaginal. These would provide exact diagnosis and a treatment plan would be established to help you get over this problem.

I hope you find this helpful Wish you a rapid resolution of symptoms and good health. Feel free to ask us more questions if need be. Thanks.
