What Causes Constant Bladder Pressure Despite Urinating?

4 days ago I began getting the feeling that I had to urinate and it has stayed with me even after voiding. It just doesn t go away. I will say that I don t seem to be going in an amount proportional to the strength of the urge like usual. I am 52 and overweight.
