Hi
Welcome to XXXXXXX
Physical examination of the private parts is needed to look for a local problem.
If there is no local problem, it may be infection in the urine or stone in the bladder.
Urine analysis and ultrasound scan are needed to look for the same.
Till you XXXXXXX the doctor, Please take enough water and cranberry juice.
Hope this helps, kindly get back for doubts if any.
Regards
DR GS
