According to the major symptom that you
report (an urgent need for urination) you
could be experiencing a bladder infection
(cystitis). You can visit your primary
health doctor and ask for standard urinary
analyses and perhaps a prescription for an
antibiotic. Urinary infections are more
common in women than in men and they are
usually provoked by bacteria that
originate from the anal region
(Escherichia coli).
