Occasional discomfort when peeing and discomfort?

Posted , 5 users are following.

My partner recently washed some of my clothes and I wore some underwear he had washed and after wearing them for several hours, that night I felt a huge discomfort like I needed to pee, so I went then less than 10 mins later I felt the discomfort again except not much came out, it’s been about a week since then and it’s been intermittent with the symptoms, it burns to pee ever so slightly about once every 5 pees, I don’t have an uncontrollable urge to go toilet, and normally if I do I pee as normal, but when I’m inactive and sitting round I feel such an unexplainable discomfort down there, it doesn’t hurt or burn or sting it’s just there. 

I have no unusual discharge or odour, but it’s just unusual how it happened after wearing the underwear that would have been washed in a different detergent. 

Any advice???

    It could be a UTI and if it continues you need to get your urine tested,but  it could also be the detergent that was used for washing your clothes. Was it scented?  It could be causing an irritation to your urethra. Did he wash the clothes by hand? If so did he rinse them well?

    Dont use this detergent again for your pants and wash them in the normal detergent with extra rinsing.

    This is quite a common urethral reaction to detergent and also bubble bath and "feminine washes".

    sounds like a uti, but whatever you do, do not take antibiotics such as cipro, which are commonly prescribed for uti's, the con's outweigh the benefits, can have permanent side effects such as nerve damage and tendon damage. Just drink a lot of cranberry juice and D-mannose helps as well.
