Please help.  

Recently, I started experiencing discomfort around abdomen and symptoms that look like UTI. I usually feel pressure around my abdomen that comes with the need to pee.  There's no pain or burning sensation when I pee (Maybe slight burn when I try to think about it after peeing), when I go to pee it usually takes a couple more seconds for urine flow to start (sometimes I need to push a little).  Lately, I have to wake up from sleep to go pee, I noticed the urine dribbles sideways or split during this time and around morning when I wake up.  During day time, it usually fine except the delay in starting urine flow.  I have gone to see three doctors, nothing helpful so far. The first doctor I went to see prescribed an alkalizer syrup which helped with the discomfort  around the abdomen.  The delay in starting urine and the late night bathroom problem still exist.  I have done several urine CS and  Urinalysis. Every time,

 The doctors said everything was fine.  I also did a full bladder ultrasound scan and everything seems fine there too. My doctor said I was too young to have prostrate enlargement but I looked up the symptoms online and they match with mine. I recently turned 25 years few days ago.  This has been stressing me out lately. Any information that'll help? Thanks.

    When you did your bladder/ultrasound did they have you drink about a liter of water before the ultrasound?  They had me do that and I ended up with about 1800 cc in my bladder.  I didn't know I was having urinary retention to that extent because I couldn't really feel it.  Made me feel sick to my stomach sometimes though, especially in the morning.  I was having the same symptoms as you with the split stream and having to urinate (several times a night for me).  It was overflow and I had to have about 450 cc in my bladder to get anything at all out.  My problem is BPH though; I had developed prostatitis from chronic urinary retention.  As soon as I started self-cathing my creatine level, from my kidneys being overworked and my PSA level started heading in the right direction.  I had no idea I was retaining so much urine and my GP didn't seem to catch on for months either.  I ended up with incontinence for several weeks before we figured it out.

    That sounds a lot like protistias but not being a dr you would need a urine test to see.
