What Causes Urge To Urinate And Pain In Lower Chest Area?

Hi Doc, I feel the urge to urinate, like urine is trapped in the urethra. Its come and gone for a year now. It has flared up again after about 6 months. It s not comfortable, not painful but just makes me a feel a bit weak. If i go to the toilet when the urge comes i would be going every 2 hours. I would feel weak and some muscles inside my side and lower chest would ache briefly. I ve had this problem since September 2013. It reduced until around Feb/March. . If i went to the toilet more than once in a matter of hours it would continue reguarly throughout the day, despite the amount of fluid i intook. I managed, to manage it by going once on the morning, and then once on the evening, making the time of being uncomfortable limited. After the first time going for a pee, there was no real problem. Then, it stopped from May onwards until the last few days. I m really confused to whats happening with it. I drink alcohol and have regular protected sex and tug a little bit. But thats generally always been the case. I put it down previously to anxiety however right now in my life I m doing a bit of travelling and i m so happy! I ve had STD tests, Urine, UTI tests blood tests, diabetes, urology scans, prostate scans, cystocopy all negative. I ve tried taking some anti biotics to keep any virus away but doesnt seem to work. And i must stress its if I m awake and go to the toilet within more than a few hours. My best bet is to go once on the morning and resist the rest. Also, drinking less water(as i drink a good amount) and more dairy, thicker drinks slows it down a bit. It s almost i feel the urge to pee, slight wet at the tip but not much happening. Any thoughts?

Hi and welcome. Thank you for the query.
Urgent urination describes an overwhelming need to get to a restroom immediately. It may be accompanied by pain or discomfort in the bladder or urinary tract. Urinary tract infections are the most common cause of frequent or urgent urination. Other causes include: drinking too much liquid, drinking caffeinated or alcoholic beverages, diabetes, pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, when there is pressure on the bladder medications, vaginal infections or prostate enlargement. It’s possible that frequent or urgent urination could be normal for you if you don’t have other symptoms. The treatment plan for frequent or urgent urination is largely dependent on the cause. Antibiotics can help treat infections. Lifestyle changes such as monitoring liquid consumption and urine output or adjusting medications can help some people.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
