My problem is that two days after the cysto, I started to have stinging, burning urine, worsening urine retention and severe abdominal pain. This has been going on for almost a week. The
doctor instructed me to take a full course of Cipro to ward off an possible infection. He did not test urine for bacteria. After four days on Cipro, I am much worse. Could the cystoscopy have caused trauma to my urethra and ureters, hence the pain??? Thanks for your help.
