I Think I Am Having Urinary Retention . Symptoms Are

Urinary infection is likely
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service,
I carefully read your query and understand your concern.
Frequent urination with burning sensation is a sign of infection. It may be a urinary infection or in some cases prostate infection (prostatitis).
Sometimes, kidney stones when they are coming out may cause burning and frequency as well but these cause also back pain.
You will need a urinalysis and urine culture. According to the results, the doctor will decide on the need for antibiotics.
Meanwhile, please ensure to drink plenty of fluids to flush the urinary system and help with the symptoms.
I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj,
General and Family Physician
