Could this be cystitis?

[TheFuckfaceWhisperer]

Since Friday I've felt like I need a wee, but when I go not much comes out. However, this is only sometimes! Other times I can go and it comes out as normal flow. I have no pain or stinging, no stomach pain, no temperature, feel totally fine in myself and it's not even every time I go, just sometimes. I'm not getting up during the night either, and can go a few hours without needing to go but if I increase my fluids I can be going every half hour. Is it mild cystitis or do I just need to drink more? I can't tell if there's any blood as I'm having a period anyway. Basically, should I see a doctor tomorrow?

Ime you will know if you have cystitis as it is painful and gets worse. None of the over the counter remedies have ever worked for me - they work by making the urine less acidic but that doesn't cure the infection. Go to the GP if what you are experiencing is unusual for you. You could have some other sort of infection and anything urinary is not worth taking a risk with.

Hmm that sounds strange but not like cystitis.. unless it’s burning like a bitch?

Hydrate yourself. Get that water into you!

Also are you taking any medication that can cause urinary retention?

Sometimes my cystitis can start like that. Just as abnormal wee patterns.

It's a kind of 'on the brink' thing. If i ignore it it develops into full blown cystitis, and if i drink lots of water and a couple of those system packet things for a day or two it goes away.

The only medication I take is Ferrous Furmarate.

I seem to be a bit more normal today, after drinking more than I usually would!

I'll keep an eye on it and if it gets funny again will get in to see doctor. Thanks

Really really up your water intake.
