sensation to urinate
13 yr. boy has constant sensation to urinate, but not much comes out?
This is referred to as urinary urgency and can occur with several conditions, the most common being a urinary tract/bladder infection. Does it burn to urinate? Is he experiencing any penile discharge? Those questions would provide more information. See a general practitioner, provide symptoms and a urine sample will be obtained and tested right there in the office and sent out for a culture if needed. If he is experiencing penile discharge or MD suspects an STD a swab will be taken (inserted into the urethra) and sent out for testing. Antibiotics will resolve the problem either way. The right antibiotic depends on the bacteria causing the problem.
I sense this will be an easy thing to diagnose. Is there some reason you're reluctant to take him to a doctor?
You should probably take him in to a doctor. Could be anything from diabetes to a UTI. Better safe than sorry on that one.
