Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You could be having an urinary tract infection and need to get your urine tested for routine microscopy and culture sensitivity. If pus cell count is raised treatment with antibiotics would be needed. If not, the next step would be to get an ultrasound of KUBP (kidney, ureter, bladder, prostate) done to rule out benign hyperplasia of prostate as a possible cause.

Rather than visiting the ER I would insist you to followthe mentioned steps.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
