Matthew: what you have may be urinary tract infection, as mentioned by others in this discussion. You can look up the symptoms, but you have 2 common ones. I had it and didn’t know that both my wife and daughter had it as well, so males can get it.

With me I also had a mild sensation when urinating, not the pain they describe in websites. I also had a loss of energy, when I don’t have much to spare, and the urine had a darker appearance and bad odor.

There’s no pain in visiting the doctor, they’ll just have you pee in a cup and send it out to the lab, and you’ll get the results in a few days. If you have this, you’ll get a prescription for appropriate antibiotics and that’s it!
