About Junko Expertise I can answer most questions pertaining to teen health, thought I cannot give medical advice. I can explain medical terminology, describe medical conditions and hopefully help people understand what is going on with their bodies. If I don`t know an answer to a question, being a medical student, I can easily find out the answer since I have many resources I can refer to.
Expert: Junko Date: 3/1/2005 Subject: concern about urinating
Question i have a problem. every time i urinate, i get this "tickly" feeling or w/e and like i have to go for almost every 2 hours or something. i don't know what's wrong with me. i've only had this for 3 days. is it the fact that maybe it's an execretion of foods or that it deals with something sexually which i don't know about, but i don't know what's going on.
Answer Hi Amy,
Without more information, it's hard to say what might be going on. Have you been taking in more fluids than usual? Does your urine look any different? When you go to the bathroom, are you urinating a large volume or just a little? Have you noticed any other symptoms or changes?
Do you ask if this has anything to do with any sexual changes because you've recently become sexually active? Or are you concerned that this has something to do with pubertal changes?
