That could be due to a urinary tract infection. Bladder inflammation is by far the most common reason for it (due to infections, sterile inflammation or crystals) but other part of the urinary tract may be affected as well. A check up is required to confirm this clinical suspicion and have urine analysis performed and discuss further investigations and treatment. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
