Pain when urinating

I had my second c-section July 27. At one week postpartum, I showed signs of a potential UTI (some pain when urinating and 100.3 temp). Due to postpartum bleeding, I couldn’t give a clean urine sample, so my doctor gave me broad spectrum antibiotics to cover a variety of potential infections. At my six week check, I still had pain when urinating (not immense but enough to bother me) and pain when wiping. Gave another urine sample and the tests came back all clear. Now I’m 9 weeks postpartum and still have pain. Attempts at sexual activity have also been painful on my urethral opening.

Could I have a UTI that doesn’t show on labs or do I have lasting damage from the catheter?

I had all of a sudden pain peeing well end of stream around 10 weeks.But my incision on my right opened up and since then I noticed that my pelvic was hurting.It started when i massage my incision deep and then we had a long car drive I didn’t drink water and only peed 1 time in 8hr drive.Then i ate chocolate pretzels lol.Then after we got home.Husband and I got intimate.Then that morning it hurts at end stream of my pee.I just drunk tons of water and day 3 still hurts so i wash myself with diluted water and vinegar.I used the cheapest one it helped a lil bit.So i bought the better one.I noticed it helped a ton.Then i drunk cranberry juice.I also used witzhazel pad since its start burning down there from keep peeing.I am all better now.

I had to have two rounds of antibiotics after a uti from the catheter. I also had low key pain when urinating for about 6 weeks postpartum.

Sounds more like you have lingering pain from the catheter. I know that affected me longer than I expected

How long did it last? I’m worried it will never go away...
