Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You may be having a urinary incontinence problem which is again of different types or simply a urinary tract infection. You need urodynamic studies and urinalysis to correctly address your problem.

However, to be specific regarding your question, I think it is neither good or bad sitting for 15 more minutes since I do not think that it is very helpful to correct your problem. What you actually need is correct diagnosis and treatment with the investigations I suggested rather than trying to solve the problem temporarily.

Thank you!

Could this be urine retention...... I have an appointment with the urologist Tuesday. I took an UTI test today and the pad was purple. I had to go to the er on last Sunday because I couldn't empty my bladder. They use a catheter you empty it,the about ten minutes later I went on my own again. This problem goes and comes. The physician at the er told me my Uribe was normal but when I got home that day I performed the UTI test and the top pad had traces of infection.. I'm 32 years old this is slightly embarrassing......:-)

Brief Answer:
There is possibility but symptoms are very specific

Detailed Answer:
There is possibility of urinary retention but symptoms are very specific. You need
investigations like urodynamic studies to get proper idea about the problem.
There is also a condition called Overactive bladder syndrome in medical literature
which also need to be investigated about in your case. I suggest you to follow up regularly with your Urologist, so that he can arrive at a proper diagnosis and treat accordingly.
