Detailed Answer:
thank you for sending the question.
From what you have described it is possible that you have inflammation of the urethra. This could possibly be connected to a urinary tract infection or possibly inflammation of the prostate.
These particular things can cause a sensation of needing to urinate frequently. I would recommend that you touch base with your local medical provider who might collect a urinalysis for examination. You might benefit from an antibiotic which could lead to resolution of your symptoms within a short period of time.
