What Causes Frequent Urination And Pressure In The Bladder?
I had some minor lower back pain over the weekend that has subsided. Today I have been urinating frequently and then feeling a heavy pressure/pain in my bladder for about 8-10 seconds afterwards. I also have the chills but no fever. And a very light period just started that is a bit clotty.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Frequent urination, chills and discomfort in the bladder region are commonly related to an infection of the urinary tract.
The urinary tract includes the urethra, bladder, ureter, kidneys and prostate.
This can be diagnosed by examination by your doctor along with an in office urine analysis to look for changes to the urine.
Urine may also be sent to the lab to identify the specific bacteria
Treatment would involve antibiotics and using a lot of fluids.
I hope this helps
