A frequent urge to urinate without pain can be a symptom of problems with the bladder or kidneys. It could also indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI). Urgent and frequent urination can sometimes result from medication side effects, diabetes, or pregnancy. Read more about the possible causes of your symptoms and seek treatment accordingly.

Frequent Urination and Other Bladder Disruptions

If your frequent urge to urinate is accompanied by a burning sensation, pain in the lower back (near the kidneys), or blood in the urine, seek medical attention as soon as possible, as these could be signs of a serious health condition.

Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms

Urinary tract infections (UTI) can cause a frequent urge to urinate and occur when bacteria gets into the body through the opening of the urethra. The longer a UTI goes untreated, the farther the infection may spread. It can reach the bladder and eventually the kidneys.

The best way to find out if your frequent urge to urinate without pain is due to a UTI is to visit a medical professional.

Some additional common symptoms of UTIs include:

  • An urge to urinate when the bladder is empty
  • Pain or burning when urinating
  • A foul or unusual odor to the urine
  • Pain or pressure in the lower back and abdominal area
  • Fever or chills

Women get UTIs more frequently than men. However, one urinary tract issue for men is prostatitis, an infection or inflammation of the prostate gland. Symptoms of prostatitis are similar to those of a UTI, and men should consult a medical professional if suffering these symptoms.

Other Causes of Frequent Urges to Urinate
