was the pain coming from the hole itself when you peed or did you kind of feel pain from the urethra like the tube kinda tingled and hurt

Is your theme health related OCD? Okay sounds like everything is okay from your most recent updates. Sorry I answered your post not taking in the factor this may be an obsessional theme. 😊

@ButterflyStar Yes I am! I’m so much better because I usually would Run to a doctor every day Honestly. The only reason I freak about UTI is because I read If you don’t treat them they can progress quickly to your kidneys so I never want to leave anything untreated

Hey! Yes sounds like a uti. I understand what you mean It's so uncomfortable. I would take some pain relief - and contact a doctor so they can give you an antibiotic. Explain to them you probably think it is a UTI. Did this come out of nowhere? Or did you recently have sex? (if you don't mind my asking, you don't have to reply but it's related).😅 Good proper wiping direction after urinating is really important. Always peeing after sex is a must. Never have sex with the urge to pee/full bladder, just go pee. And general hygiene around sex is important because its very easy for bacteria to be spread from bum to vagina, or from your partner. Sorry if that's TMI 😂, just incase!

Oh no so you think it’s a UTI?:( I’m so scared because I really have always been afraid of getting them and tried to prevent them.. I didna few days ago but I peed after and took cranberry pills. I don’t have the sensation anymore it kind of started while I was holding in pee while driving , and then I feel the urethra I guess get really irriTted and feel weird (like the tube itself).. when I pee there’s no pain or blood. It’s better this morning so idk

Hi! It sounds like a UTI, but could also be nothing and I’ve had plenty before! The vast majority of UTI’s Can be very mild, i sometimes have what you’re experiencing and drink water for a few days and it goes away, other times it’s gotten worse and i’ve needed antibiotics. If your anxiery is surrounding health, I would just try grounding yourself a bit and focus on what’s in front of you and taking the proper precautionary measures (as you already have) but also fostering uncertainty of “the worst” always being a possibility. Drinking a lot of water has always helped me to get rid of that feeling/pain!

Ok thank you. It’s weird between I took UTI test strip last night and this morning and both were negative . I don’t have any burning Or pain it just felt more like inflammation or irritation internally but not when the pee came out if that makes sense

@j123 Yes I get what you’re describing. The urinary area can be in that gray area sometimes unfortunately. If both tests say negative I would say that logically you are probably in the clear, though as we know anxiety doesn’t listen to logic. Hope you feel better though! ❤️

my OCD was doing better bro :(
tell me why… idk if this is just me but i’m so scared i have ovarian cancer, kidney stone, kidney failure, UTI, hernia, or something wrong that’s making my lower stomach to my inner thigh and pelvic area. i have an uncomfortable feeling. it was hurting more last night then it is today… everytime i pee it doesn’t hurt but i somewhat still get the uncomfortable feeling down there and feeling in stomach. i’ve been googling and idk what to do because i’m scared of the doctors and i haven’t had a physical like in 2 years and i’m like scared if i go to a physicial i will have something wrong with me like i have cancer or something that i don’t know about. something tells me the pain tho in general is something gastrointestinal related but idk if could mean i have pain down “there”…. i took a tylenol last night it helped a little but then it still kinda occurred and i took a tum and it’s still the same i think it’s still occurring since i’m so hyper focused about it. idk i’m just like ugh my OCD was doing so well i just can’t tell what it is or if something is wrong i’m just scared :( i hate when having certain pains i freak out.

Somatic OCD relapse- peeing/bladder
Hi I’m new to this group. I’ve had ocd and very bad anxiety disorder since I was a kid and only got progressively worse as I grew up. I’m 26 now. I had some somatic/sensorimotor ocd while growing up and feeling or worrying about health concerns that aren’t actually there… anyway about 5 weeks ago I randomly started feeling like I had to go pee all the time? I don’t have any pain or anything just the horrible constant feeling like I need to go pee. I’ve gotten checked for a uti multiple times. My pcp suspects it could be being exacerbated by the anxiety because it’s so distressing to me it’s almost all I think about. My ocd has convinced myself that I now have some chronic bladder problem. I notice it’s not as bad at night when I’m relaxed (thanks to medication) and about to fall asleep. I just am so scared that it’s never going to go away and I’m going to have to deal with this for the rest of my life and I can’t do that…. Was just wondering if anyone else ever dealt with this symptom? I know our brains are powerful but sometimes it just feels so real. 😣😣
