A member asked:

I have to push really hard to pee. there's no pain and no other symptoms of a uti. could it be kidney stones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kidney stones: usually cause pain and blood in urine. Your symptoms are not typical for kidney stones, but more of urethritis or bladder outlet obstruction. Consult with a urologist.
