Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I am not sure as to what you refer to as strain in your 'urinary system'. If you are having any painful or burning urination or fever or chills, then you may have a urinary infection, for which you need to visit a doctor, have a urine test done and take antibiotic treatment. If you don't have any of these symptoms, then you can just try drinking plenty of water and fluids and see if the problem gets relieved on its own. If your symptoms are persistent or worsening, then it's better to seek medical attention soon.
Wish you all the best.
