What can cause frequent urination in small amounts and urethra discomfort after voiding with tingling?

Doctor's Answers 1

The most common cause for frequent urination of small amounts with urethral discomfort in a young male would be a UTI or a urinary tract infection.

This can either be due to:

  • Cystitis (infection of the urinary bladder)

  • Prostatitis (infection of the prostate gland)

  • Urethritis (infection of the urethra), or a combination of any of the above.

Other common causes would be sexually transmitted infections or even urinary tract stones (in this case possible a stone in the bladder or urethra or even in the lower ureter).

A trip down to the urologist's office is recommended.

What can cause the urge to urinate during the day?

The urinary bladder has 2 bodily functions. 1. To store urine produced by the kidneys2. To empty the urine from the body through the urethraWe develop the ability to decide when it is socially appropriate to empty our bladder as our brain develops. Once the bladder is filled to a certain volume, we will feel the need to empty the bladder, also known as urgency. When a patient presents to us for bothersome urgency with and without incontinence, the first thing that we would want to rule out would be urinary tract infection. Other causes would be bladder stone or distal ureteric stones.
