Hey. I really in need of some help. To be quite frank I have no idea what is going on. I have been feeling like I have to pee all the time; and when I do it still feels like I still have to go ; and sometimes when it feels like I have to go I sit down and than nothing comes out. I'm thinking what the hell is going on. So I went to the doctor figured I had a bladder infection so I went there told them that, got pills and that didn't help nothing. What is wrong with me. Any advice?

How long have you been taking the pills? It does indeed sound like a UTI. Is there any burning when you urinate? Any back aches?

Do you remember the name of the pill hun?
Also, certain antibiotics can cause a yeast infection, this may be what is causing your itching.
If you are still having a hard time with urination, meaning frequency (having to go often), anuresis (going very little or not at all), you need to be re-checked by your doctor.

No I do clym... I don't know exactly what it was called ! Re-checked how? I thought I had a yeast infection so I had treated for it, because I had white stuff down there. And it wasn't normal !

Okay, the white stuff is yeast, that is usually treated with Diflucan. Urinary retention or inability to pee is usually treated with an antibiotic such as Ceclor or Keflex.
By being re-checked I mean to should go back to the doctor's office and submit a urine specimen that can be tested for blood and/or bacteria in your urine.

I would love to give you more advice, but you need to have a urine dipstick test and that is done in clinics or doctor's offices, you can't do it at home or via the internet. Your urine MUST be tested to prevent permanent bladder and/or kidney damage if an infection does exist.
Do you live in the states? If you do, your local health department can test you for free or on a sliding scale fee.

Planned Parenthood used to be free, but unfortunately as costs rise, so does their overhead and they have begun to charge.
Try your local county health department. They should be able to do this for you.

Hun, PM me with your city, county, and state and I will most likely be able to get the number for your local health department if you can't.
I am a nursing student, 6 months until I graduate with my RN degree.
