A Urine Culture needs to be performed as well as a urology or
urogynecology consult. A cystoscopy, a look into the bladder with a
painless tiny telescope can give a lot of information as well as a diary
of how often you are urinating and how much. If surgery instigated the
problem, it will usually resolve fully in time if there are no surgical
complications.
