Bladder pressure

Hi, For about a week now I have felt pressure on my bladder and the need to urinate, very similar to Cystitis, but I have been to the nurse and I do not have an infection. Depending on how I am lying / sitting it can feel worse.

Re: Bladder pressure

It could be a low level infection that wasnt picked up on a standard urine test.
Rarely a stone passing or other irritant cause these symptoms
Drink plenty, redo a urine sample if persists and ask for a urology referral for further tests if no joy

Re: Bladder pressure

Ensure the GP sends of the sample as Mr Challacombe comments some are missed if just dipstix are used..
