Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Little pain and discomfort is experienced by many patients after getting a hysterectomy done. Sometimes scar tissue forms in the area of surgery and that will cause pinching of nerves leading to pain. Pain in the pelvis can also be caused due to infections. The urine sample was taken to test for any infections in urine and other routine elements.

Usually drugs are not tested for in a routine urine examination. You will be told if such a sample was taken specifically for urine drug level estimation. If you have not been told about it then your urine will not be tested for presence of drugs in your urine sample. Please do not worry.
