I would call pcp -UTI.  Bladder infection..?

All I can say is that if you've got a UTI, you'd definitely know it.  Pain on urination, frequent urges to urinate, chills, maybe even blood in the urine.

Otherwise, yeah, a visit to your PCP is in order if you're really bothered.

I found that as a I lost weight that my excess skin hung down and made it much more difficult to empty my bladder.  I would physically have to bend over and pull up the excess skin to fully empty the bladder.  

Because of this difficulty I've had 3 urinary tract infections in the last year.  So I would definitely call you doctor and go in for a urine test to check for infection.  Don't wait 2 weeks because the infection can move up into your kidneys and that is BIG trouble.

Sound like a uti same thing happened to me I felt the urge to pee and when I did it was like nothing! Went to the dr and it was a UTI.  I didn't have pain or burning just the urge to pee all the time!
