Why do I feel urgent and frequent but cannot urinate?

This is a very common symptom. Many diseases can cause the occurrence of urinary urgency, frequent urination and inability to urinate. In many cases, male friends do not pay special attention to this symptom, thinking that it is inflammation and that taking some anti-inflammatory drugs will cure it. In fact, every small discomfort can cause major symptoms, so we must look at these small problems correctly. Below, I will tell you about several diseases that can cause this symptom.

1. Acute prostatitis.

The onset is acute and may be accompanied by symptoms of infection and poisoning. Rectal examination reveals an enlarged prostate with obvious tenderness. According to andrology experts, chronic prostatitis can cause soreness and swelling of the perineum, anal prolapse, suprapubic pain radiating to the groin, sexual dysfunction (such as impotence, premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea, etc.), dizziness, insomnia, fatigue and other systemic symptoms. Physical examination shows that the prostate is firm and has mild tenderness.

2. Prostate hyperplasia.

It is more common after the age of 50, accompanied by progressive urination difficulties. In severe cases, urine retention may occur. Physical examination shows that the prostate is enlarged, smooth and elastic. Prostate cancer progresses rapidly, and physical examination reveals that the prostate is hard and has an uneven surface.

3. Acute pyelonephritis.

It is often manifested by high fever, chills, and percussion pain in the kidney area, with or without frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. However, acute cystitis and urethritis are infections of the mucosal surface, so there are no systemic symptoms such as sterile blood, and generally only urinary tract irritation symptoms.

4. Bladder stones.

It is often accompanied by dysuria, interrupted urine flow or bifurcated urine flow. When there is urethral stone, the urinary pain is prominent, accompanied by dysuria, thin urine stream, terminal hematuria, and in severe cases, urinary retention. You should go to a regular professional andrology hospital for treatment in time.

Nowadays, men's understanding of the urinary system is not very complete. Many of them are unaware of the knowledge. Some of them think that urinary system discomfort is caused by inflammation and that it can be cured by taking anti-inflammatory drugs. Or they worry and think that it is an infectious disease. These are two extreme understandings. If you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately instead of taking care of the disease.
