Kidney removal for RCC and now burning when urinate
Has anyone experienced extreme burning and painful urination after kidney removal? I had kidney removed 7/21/17 for RCC and four weeks after surgery I started having a lot of pelvic pain and painful urination. Since then I was treated for kidney and bladder infection but urine cultures have been clear. I had a CT without contrast and it showed nothing. I had a cystoscopy which was clear other than my urethra had to be stretched. Please help!

Gosh
Sometimes the urinary tract takes time to calm down after a severe infection. Are you still being treated for infection? The antibiotics can be pretty rough and may take a while for the spasm's to calm down. Pushing fluids?
Other than that, I'd advise consulting with your urologist again.
Best wishes,

Yes, I had that
Sorry, I didn't see that you'd had a cystoscopy.
I had a pyeloscopy and that was unpleasant. I was dripping blood after the scope was withdrawn. For the next few days I had burning pain during urination.
Can't they make a smaller camera?
The nephrectomy itself caused no such problem though my testicles and pubic bone were tender for a week or two.
