Hi -
Has anyone ever had a bladder infection caused from a catheter? I had a partial hysterectomy 3 weeks ago. Started noticing some back pain, low grade fever, and pain in my bladder area when I urinated. My doctor did a urinalysis and put me on Macrobid for a bladder infection, he said probably caused by the catheter.
Has anyone else had this and what were your symptoms? How were you treated for the infection? Did it clear up?
Thanks
Lisa
