Please see below: Please repeat urine for infection. If this is negative then its good to discuss with a urologist.

Urinary issues: Given that the catheter was removed 6 months back , it is unlikely that you still have an infection. However it is possible that in placing or removing the catheter there may have been some trauma to the urinary tissues, resulting in the symptoms that you are having. As unlikely as it might be, a UTI is still possible. If that has been ruled out, you may need to see a urologist. Hope this helps.
