Bladder : Pushing on blade will cause urgency even if there is some urine in it. If you have concerns , more information will be needed like duration of symptoms, recurrent Uti , number of kids, preg complications , any surgery in the genital area in past , urination on coughing etc. please see your gp to discuss all this.
