I am experiencing a strong and consistent urge to urinate frequently, even while I am already urinating. I have submitted a normal urine routine test report and also given a sample for urine culture. Please advise on what this might indicate and the next steps.

Since your urine report appears normal, the frequent urge to urinate may not be due to an active infection, but we should wait for the urine culture results to be sure. If the culture is negative and symptoms persist, other causes like bladder irritation or overactive bladder can be considered. In the meantime, try avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods, and observe if symptoms improve. Timed voiding or pelvic floor exercises may also help. If discomfort continues, a follow up with a urologist might be helpful for further evaluation.
