Very painful to urinate, it takes a while to start, then it is a slow stream. Last night I was very hydrated and had to get up 5 or 6 times to urinate. It was a strong heavy painless stream. Then yesterday I started wanting to urinate very often , sometimes barely making it to the bathroom. Tonite, I have had to get up an average of probably every hour, to hour and forty five minutes. Now my left side (kidney?) has a dull pain. I am 60 years old and just had a prostate exam about 3 or 4 weeks ago. It is four in the morning, can you give some possibilities of what it might be and what I should do and/or take until I can see a doctor in the morning? YYYY@YYYY All lower case
