Urinary Problems

For the last 3-4 days I have had urinating problems. I mean it is hard to hold my urine, when I habe to go I have to go and this occurs abot every 4-6 hours. Also as I pee it is ok but as I finish peeing this weird sensation happens, it kind of hurts its like a soft pain kind of shoots up my abdomenal area. It was worst a few days ago, I have been drinking nothing but grape cranberry juice and taking some cranberry suplements. I have never felt this way before and I just dont understand, it just came up on me. Could it possibly be a urinary tract infection, what are the symptoms? Or a bladder infection, what are those symptoms? I am going to try and go to the doctor as soon as I can be mean while what possibly can I do?

Sounds like a UTI (urinary tract infection).  You'll need antibiotics to clear it up and keep it from travelling to your kindey(s).  Until you can see the doctor, try taking Azo (over-the-counter meds for UTI).  Even though it hurts to urinate, drink plenty of water to flush the bacteria out.

Hi.  It's most likely a urinary tract infection.  It's very easiy treatable with antibiotics.  The symptoms will go away imeediately after you start taking them but make sure to go to the dr because if left untreated it can travel to your kidneys and that's not fun at all.
In the interim, there is something over the counter that might help with your discomfort.  It's called AZO for UTI.
Just get to the dr as soon as you can and you'll feel better.
