Ive been dealing with a constant urge to urinate and a burning sensation after urination for almost a month now. My sugar test, urine routine, urine culture, and abdominal ultrasound all came back normal. I was on antibiotics twice a day for 10 days, which helped for a while, but the symptoms returned. Right now, Im taking Pyridium 200 three times a day, Citra soda twice a day, and K Cit syrup twice a day. The burning sensation has eased a bit, but the frequent urge to urinate is still there. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
