Urinary symptoms can be impacted by anxiety - especially health anxiety. However, I can not say what the cause of your symptom is.

After you finish urinating do you then void more than a few drops of urine? If not you may not relax pelvic muscles enough after voiding. If more urine is present, you have incomplete bladder emptying. Causes are either bladder muscle dysfunction or partial outlet obstruction. A urologist can evaluate and advise you. Urodynamic studies may be recommended as part of the workup.

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

I have resistance to ciprofloxacin when I tested for urinalysis culture. Now I have a problem with my eye and the doctor gave me cipro ointment. Can I still use it even if I had resistance tested for my urine before?
