Im 17, girl, and It s been a week since I been operated from my appendix, and lately I haven t had good sleep, my back, my cheeks, lips , chin and neck would get really hot and Id have trouble sleeping. Just 2 days ago I noticed my urine was dark, so I started to drink lots of water but the tips of my vagina burn when I pee, speculating I have a bladder infection , I have a minimal amount of pain where I got operated but it seems like I don t have fever. Please help.

Hello.
Thanks for using HCM.
Urinary tract infections tend to cause chills with fever, burning sensation while passing urine and heaviness with pain in the area surrounding the bladder. Since its been a week after your operation and the fact that there are other symptoms present should provoke you to get a re-checkup by your doctor. Clinical examination and urine test can rule out any bladder infection. Continue drinking plenty of fluids.
Feel free for further queries.
Regards.

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Your symptoms can be caused by urinary tract infection, abscess in abdominal cavity or soft tissues infections in the incision area. Moreover, mentioned conditions can coexist.
As appendix surgery usually causes wound infection during infected appendix removing, some of such wounds do heal longer than other wounds. If such wound gets infected, usually fever appears (hot cheeks and lips can indicate fever). The wound gets hard and painful. Discharge from the wound can be present.
Abdominal abscess is possible after every surgery and if fever appears, it should be always ruled out.
I suggest you to visit you doctor, have abdominal ultrasound, soft tissues ultrasound, blood work, CRP and urine analysis performed.
Hope this will help.
