What Causes Strained Urination Along With Irritation And Tingling Sensation?
Question: Hello,
Recently I've been having problems emptying my bladder. I feel like I have to strain to get it all out and I still feel urine in my urethra. I also feel some irritation and tingling at the tip. This started about a week ago and has gotten a little bit better, but its not going away completely. I have had an std test and I am clean. I've also done a urine dipstick and it was negative for uti( although my doc did give me antibiotics for two weeks). What could this be?
