Flu like symptoms 3 weeks post hysterectomy
Hello again, Megan here.
I had my surgery 3 weeks ago today, had to keep my catheter in for a week and a day. No problem bladder wasn't leaking. I have been fine up until yesterday when I woke up. I am having difficulties urinating meaning feeling like I have a uti but was on antibiotics before the catheter was removed. I am also experiencing some nausea and aches and pains all over. However once again it started yesterday 8/14/17. Kind of feel like flu symptoms I am going to the urologist tomorrow I am today 8/15/17 experiencing cold chills but not hot at all. I hope this doesn't sound like an infection..

Flu like symptoms 3 weeks post hysterectomy
If you are concerned about a UTI, signs to watch for include frequent sudden urges with little production, cloudy, bloody, or strong smelling urine, painful or burning urination and pelvic or lower back pain. Nausea and aches or pains can signal an infection, or a viral illness. It's likely that antibiotics used in the surgery, as well as the additional antibiotics you were given, have indiscriminately killed off the good bacteria inside your intestinal tract and your urinary tract, which makes up 70% of your immune system. In addition to what your doctor prescribes, I would recommend a probiotic supplement to restore them; if you do have a UTI, look for the strains Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Lactobacillus reuter, as well as Bifidobacterium animalis lactis to bolster your immune system. Here's hoping you'll be over this soon, and back on the road to recovery!
