Feels like i need to urinate but i dont...?

Question

im a 17 year old male, active in sports in highschool and everything. weigh about 170 and very built. my whole life i have had a very strong bladdar (i have been able to drink many water bottles at a time and not have to go to the bathroom at all). but the past few weeks it seems like i need to urinate more but i cant. i will go to the bathroom..pee..and then when i come back and sit down..it feels like i still need to go but when i do..nothing comes out or just a little dripples. any help here?? i dunno what to do..should i go to the doctor?

Answer 1

Yes, dont freak out, but sounds like an infection. antibiotics.  

Answer 2

Hmm...this does sound like an infection...or a prostate enlargement.

Do you have a burning sensation when you pee?..if you do, then it is an infection. you could use an anti-biotic, and drink lts of cranberry juice and obviously lots of water!!

if you go to see the doc, they will take a urine specimen to check for the presense of any bacteria, pus cells, blood etc..

but...what you're describing is a typical symptom  of prostate pathology. Although, you're young to have any prostate problems!!

however, you should see a doctor to rule it out. Because sometimes it can be slightly problematic. Just to be on the safe side, you should see a doc to rule out any serious causes associated with this symptom.

it could also be an obstruction of some sort.

hope you get well soon, mate

Answer 3

you describe a classic symptom for urinary tract infection...yes you need to see a doctor.

Answer 4

do you have any pain or discomfort? you may be experiencing a UTI (urinary tract infection) or maybe just a bladder infection. i would go to the doctor so they can give you some antibiotics. in the meantime, purchase some AZO pills and take those. they always work for me.

Answer 5

Yes, go to the doctor.  Could possibly be a kidney infection or bladder infection & maybe an antibiotic could clear it up.  That's one miserable feeling.  Good luck.

Answer 6

go see the doctor quick.

Answer 7

At age 17 you probably have a urinary tract infection, but could have a prostate infection.  You MUST go to your Physician as he can quickly give you a U A (urine analysis) and tell you immediately how to solve the problems with a prescription.  

You will not solve the problem without going to your Physician.

Answer 8

Yes it sounds like you may have an infection in the urinary tract which needs some investigation.

Make an appointment with your doctor and take a specimen of urine from your first pee of the day with you so it can be sent for testing  

Answer 9

i don't think you have an infection or anything because there isn't any blood, but i get this feeling every once in a while when i dont' go to the bathroom for a while...go more often, and you probably won't get that anymore
