Stricture of urethera--should it be very painful?

I had surgery four months for labial adhesions. I didn't panic the first month or so when I had pain but it's been long enough. I continue to have pain just when I pee. I sit, walk, etc. without any problem but as soon as the pee begins I have really sharp pain. I've been told I have a stricture of the urethera--not a new diagnosis but I've never had this pain. The vulva dermatologist told me to take AZO as long as I'm hurting. It's been taking it over a week and I can't see any improvement. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. None of the doctors I've seen after the surgery have done a urinalysis. I'll go to urgent care tomorrow and ask that they take a specimen. Thanks.
