I'm having this issue where every time I drink milk, about 10 or 20 minutes later, I have to pee and then it's like every 10 minutes after that, I feel this really strong urge to go again, sometimes like 3 or 4 times. It's pretty intense and I'm not sure if it's normal. Could this be something to worry about?

Your symptoms of frequent urination with full pressure after consuming milk may indicate lactose intolerance, as the body is unable to digest lactose, leading to increased water absorption and urine production; ry reducing or avoiding lactose-containing products or switching to lactose-free or low-lactose alternatives.
