Need to Urinate but Can't: Bladder or Urinary Infection? Posted: 03-11-06 23:36pm
my daughter has been having trouble
urinating. this problem comes and goes.
she has been having this problem for over
a year. she feels the urge to go to the
restroom but just can't. during the summer
i thought it could be a bladder infection
because of being in the pool so often.
any thoughts or advice would be greatly
appreciated.
Your daughter probably has some type of
recurrent urinary infection. Urinary
infections are more frequent in women then
men. You can bring her to a doctor's
office for a urine analyses. A proper
antibiotic will be probably be prescribed.
Another urinary analysis after antibiotic
therapy is correct procedure to confirm
the prescence/absence of a possible
infection after treatment.
