hi - my girlfriend was just put on antibiotics for a UTI, but i've noticed that when i pee it feels like i continually need to pee more when i'm finished. Also, i don't know whether to say that it is dysuria or anything, but after i pee it does feel rather uncomfortable. I'm a highly anxious individual, having posted before for simple hair follicles and such, but i'm aware that it really should never burn when you pee. It is important to note that it doesn't HURT when i pee, rather it just feels uncomfortable afterwards. It feels internal, to be as precise as possible, somewhere in the urinary tract a little under the head. I did have a problem holding in pee on several occasions, and I have frequently in my life gotten to the point where it has hurt because i've had to pee so bad from holding it in so long. I do not drink enough water, that is for sure, and i am also taking 20mgs of lexapro. My urethra is a bit red but i don't know if that means it is swollen or not, it's just been the way it is for a very long time. Is this a urinary tract infection? what does it really FEEL like to have a urinary tract infection as a male? what is actually going on WITH a urinary tract infection? I've read a lot online but i want to hear it from a male who has had one. My parents said it is almost definitely one, but you can never be too sure.
Just curious.
Thanks very much!
