lack of urination

[this_guy86]

i have been dealing with a lack of urination for quite some time now. i urinate twice a day, and the first isn't usually until well after lunch time. i do drink some liquids throughout the day, but not alot. i also find myself not being really thirsty, so consumption  of liquids is minimal

at times, when i finally do urinate, i get an almost irritated sensation afterwords in what feels like the end of the urethra before coming out of the penis

i am most curious if this is a prostate or kidney issue given my medical history trying to figure out a possible GI issue that, after 6 years, is still without an answer. could one be causing the other?

any insight on this would be helpful...For clarity, it is not an STD

I would recommend upping the fluid intake daily, and not by coffee or soda.  You need to drink 1 to 2 litres of water or fluids daily to stay hydrated.  If you are sweating a lot, you need to drink even more, something like Gatorade to replace the electrolytes.  You urinary burnig should also end as you flush your  bladder more often.

Good luck.

Hi and welcome, Why do you say this is not an std, the part about the urethra irritation at the tip?
