A member asked:

My daughter suspects she has urinary retention. she tells me that she has to go to the bathroom often, and also that she always feels a need to go to the bathroom, even after she has finished. she is also obese, maybe that could be a cause?

Specializes in Pediatrics

Frequency or an urge to empty the bladder soon after a void may be seen with urinary tract infections. Your pediatrician should be able to screen for a UTI. Increasing the fluid intake and concentrating on emptying the bladder may also be helpful.

Her gynecologist or a urologist can determine if she has urinary retention.
