What Causes Tingling Sensation After Urination?

I had a pap on Thursday. That night I felt a funny feeling when I urinated. Now I feel like I need to urinate when I do not. When I do go, there is a funny feeling like I still need to go. Not really pain, just uncomfortable. I have never had any uti or bladder or kidney infection before. I am 74 years old and in excellent health.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
This occurs mostly due to UTI. Urinary tract infections are the commonest bacterial infection in older people and the risk increases with age. Women suffer more frequently from recurrent UTI than men because of their shorter urethra and proximity of urethral opening to anus. Other predisposing factors in old age include diabetes, urinary tract stones, steroid use, and chronic illness impairing immune system.
Advice
1.     Syrup alkaline citrate 2 teaspoonful three times daily for 1 week
2.     Ciprofloxacin 500 mg every 12 hours for 5days
3.     Drink plenty of water to flush out bacteria
4.     Drink cranberry juice
5.     Do not hold your urine. Urinate when you feel
6.     Wipe from front to back after bowel movements
7.     Urinate after having sex to flush bacteria
8.     Investigations
a.     R/E of urine
b.     C/S of urine
c.     Blood sugar (F & PP)
Thanks
