Postpartum urinary tract pain is not necessarily a urinary tract infection.

Is urethral pain a urinary tract infection after childbirth?

For women after childbirth, if they do not pay attention to maintaining local cleanliness, urinary tract infection may form, causing urinary tract pain. However, urinary tract pain after childbirth may also be related to other factors. If the woman is in labor, it may be due to the local pressure caused by the birth of the fetus beyond the range that the tissue can withstand. After the formation of tearing damage, the symptoms are more likely to occur during urination because of local nerve stimulation. At the same time, postpartum indwelling catheter women, in the catheter removal, may also be due to local mucosal swelling, resulting in urination pain.
