when i pee, it does not feel normal, what should i think?

Question

Answer 1

Many possibilities: Having an abnormal sensation when urinating can have many possible causes. Some possible causes include a urinary tract infection, a vaginal infection in women, urethritis, a kidney stone, a herpes infection, etc. It is important to seek the help of your physician to help delineate the cause.

Answer 2

Think doctor's visit: Could be infection in the urine, or maybe an std. In women, yeast infections can cause discomfort when urinating as well. You should see your doctor - you may need antibiotics or an antifungal, or at least a test on your urine.

Answer 3

Get a urine test: This could well represent a urinary tract infection (most commonly a bladder infection). However it could also be due to other things like a urethral infection, vaginal infection, skin irritation, or some other less common things.

Answer 4

It may be important: This may be a sign of a urinary tract infection or a vaginal infection of you are a woman, or a prostate infection if you are a man. If it burns, and certainly if there is an unusual discharge, then you should have this checked out by your doctor. If it just feels odd, drink more water to dilute the urine and see if this clears it up. If it doesn't, you still may want to have it checked out.

Answer 5

Should be evaluated: Symptoms when urinate such as burning, urgency, increased frequency, odor, incomplete emptying, pressure or odor can be signs of a urinary tract infection or other urinary tract problems. This requires evaluation by your physician.

Answer 6

Yes: Brownish urine may be concentrated meaning that you are not drinking enough water. However, i would recommend calling your doctor's office for a urinalysis to make sure that nothing else more serious is going on.

Answer 7

Yes: Certain kidney problems cause brown urine so can some medicines e.G Pyridium (phenazopyridine) which is expected. See your doctor if it persists after adequate hydration.

Answer 8

No: This suggests most likely that the urine is concentrated and the baby needs more fluids, particularly if the baby is otherwise doing well.

Answer 9

No: In general, urine should be clear to pale yellow. Dark yellow or strong smelling urine is often a sign of being somewhat dehydrated. Try increasing fluids and see how the urine responds. If it stays dark yellow in spite of increased fluid intake and baby is urinating at least 5-6 times per 24 hours, you may have to have your doctor examine the baby and their urine for other issues.

Answer 10

Probably: The use depends on what you are looking for in the urine. This is commonly used for heavy metal testing.

Answer 11

Lab supplies this: The laboratory will supply the collection bottle required for that test. Do not use any other container.

Answer 12

NO: No, transmission of HIV through urine has never been established and is not a risk. Unless, there is significant amount of blood in the urine and you have significant exposure to the bloody urine for a period of time. Other STDs are also highly unlikely to be spread by urine and cannot be spread by toilet seats or other surfaces of fomites or surfaces.

Answer 13

Urine and STDs: Nope. Not at all. Urine is sterile and there can not be any disease transmission.

Answer 14

The short answer is 'a short time'; usually under 10-15 seconds depending upon how much urine you need to eliminate, and depending upon one's gender. Fluid intake, kidney(renal) disease, prostate issues, etc. Can lengthen this time and even cause an obstruction so if there is any alteration of what is "normal" for you then ask your health care provider.

Answer 15

It depends on volume: Larger volume of voids would naturally take longer time to pass. Another factor would be the diameter of the urethra. If urine takes too long to pass compared to your previous normal you may need to see urology to eval for prostate enlargement or urethral stricture. Both would make diameter of urethra small and prolong voids. If so, needs treated before kidney disease or failure takes place.
