What Causes Urge To Urinate?

default
Posted on Thu, 21 May 2015
Question: About two months ago, I was urinating and a few seconds after I was done, I felt like urinating again, but I couldn't. I kept on having this feeling of wanting to urinate for about 15 minutes until it went away. This has never happened to me, and it has not happened again. I am wondering what could have caused it.

Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.
