Pressure to Urinate
Hello, I am twenty years old and female.
I am currently on my second to last day of my period.
Yesterday and today, today is worse, I've been having this very annoying pressure to urinate all the time but when I to the bathroom, I don't actually urinate or it's a tiny amount. However, when I actually do go, it's an even worse pressure - but I can't really describe it as a burning sensation, it's honestly still just pressure there. I have yet to feel a burning sensation during urination.
My first instinct was to think it's a UTI, very common in women but then I read that any irritation to the vagina during your period could cause this, sorry too personal, but on Saturday night, my boyfriend and I hooked up, I obviously couldn't do anything so it was just dry humping mostly and I figured that may have been the "irritation" that could cause this too.
I've been reading about UTI's and it's always described as pressure, burning when urinating, fevers maybe (depending on how bad the UTI is), cloudy urination... but I only have the pressure.
I know I should go to the doctor but if it's anything related to my period, and my period is over tomorrow, I'm kind of just dealing with it til then to see if I still have this going on.
Any input is appreciated, if you get pressure to have to pee all the time during your period or if you've had a UTI before, anything I can do, if it's normal... anything, really.
Thanks!

When I'm on my period it does often make me feel as if I have to go to the bathroom with nothing there. I don't know how much this will help you, but if you would like to pee so maybe you won't keep having the urge to go, so can eat yogurt and plenty of fiber, and milk may be able to help too. If your stomach has been feeling ill along with it, then skip out on the dairy products 'cause they will turn sour in your stomach and make you feel ill. Like I said, this may not have been the exact answer you were looking for, but this may cause you to where you will actually pee and it may ease the pain. If your still having all the pressure and side affects you were talking about after the period, I would suggest the doctor.

See a doctor right away. You almost definitely have a UTI.
The pressure - with very little urine coming out - it how it starts. Next comes the pain and burning.
UTIs get more uncomfortable super-quick, and left untreated long enough they can cause other health problems, including kidney infections. So no 'waiting and seeing'. Go to a doctor. Chances are pretty good you woke up this morning and felt the burning. So go now.

The pee hole is very close to the vagina. Perhaps something got in there and did create a UTI. Instead of pressure, I call it an urge to pee, feeling like you need to expell urine. When you try, there's nothing there and yes, the urge or pressure feeling is stronger when you are straining to empty the bladder. When I have that feeling, it is an infection. The only couple times I have felt something similar is when I am dehydrated too long. Without enough fluids, the bladder doesnt empty properly and some germs can remain to grow instead of being flushed out with peeing. For now, you can drink extra water. But I am thinking the fact that you have period at same time is just a coincidence, and likely not related. Dry humping doesnt cause UTIs. As for the burning sensation, that will eventually come if left untreated and you can get a fever as the infection rages on without medication. Best to go see your Dr. If you can learn that this was a UIT and remember what it felt like, you can always try cranberry juice. It's a natural way to get over UIT/bladder infections. I would drink the juice, or even take cranberry extract pills from a natural supplement store. Both work. But I would drink the juice all day long, a couple gallons. in the morning of next day if it doesnt feel better, I schedule to see Dr. I get rid of mine in 2 days time maybe a little more using cranberry. But as I said, first times its better to know for sure if this is what it is, and go see your Dr.
