    Urinary Tract Infection?
    I think I may have a UTI, but I am not sure. I don't feel any burning when I urinate or have a STRONG urge to go to the bathroom though. I've noticed that if I just move around I feel like I have to pee but not like a strong urge, just a little. It bothers me though. And yesturday I drank like a cup of water and have to go to the restroom like two times afterwards. Is it weird I feel like I sort of have to urinate when I move around? Could I have a UTI?

    You are probably getting one. Two options.


    Get a home uti kit. You pee on a strip and after 2 minutes you can read the strip to see if you have one then go get treated at doc

    Or go to the docs they can do a urinalysis to determine if you have an infection and what type of infection you have

    You may have a little bit of incontinence-loss of bladder control, a UTI can have the same symptoms as weak pelvic floor muscles. First investigate the UTI with a doctor then if this is okay then you may need to do some kegel exercises.

    I agree with the first two posters. You could be in the early stages of a uti. Other symptoms are lower back ache, or you could have the beginning of a kidney stone. That could account for the urinary frequency. Have you started any new meds lately? I tried to check your profile to see if you were a man or woman. If you're a woman, bladder weakness can come from childbirth. Causing the muscles to weaken. Or if you're a man. It could be a prostate issue. Regardless of te reason. I'd see your doctor and have a urine analasys done and a urine culture. If it's just a matter of urgency or frequency there are meds out there to help with that like ditropan and others.
