Have I got Cystitis?

Since the weekend (me & my boyfriend had sex on Friday & I was a bit too dry so we stopped), whenever I go to the toilet, I feel like my bladder is still really full for about 15 minutes afterwards even though nothing comes out. There is no pain and I only get the bladder full feeling just after I have tried to go for a wee.

I did some reading and I wasn't sure if it was cystitis or a bladder infection. Are either treatable over the counter?

Does it sound like I have neither?!

    We're not allowed to give medical advice here. I'd say go along to the pharmacist and ask them (some have a private consultation room, so you wouldn't have to explain all that while in a shop full of people!) or phone the doctor. They should be able to advise you.

    MEDICAL ADVICE

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this: Sorry, giving or asking for medical advice is not permitted on this forum as it’s not what this site is about. While discussing medical insurance policies, cheaper ways to see consultants, cashback for alternative health treatments and how to get specific medication cheaper (legally) are all perfectly acceptable we ask you specifically not to discuss what to do in the event of certain medical problems (please see this rule on the Health Board). If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].
