A member asked:

The past couple of days i have felt increased bladder pressure, even after emptying it. i feel a strong contraction & sensation when done urinating. ?

Possible UTI: What you are describing may be a UTI. Very common especially in females. Symptoms usually include increased urinary frequency, urgency, and often times burning while urinating. You should see a physician who will check your urine and can tell you if you have a UTI within minutes.
