You need some testing, which includes a pelvic ultrasound to check your post-void residual, which is how much you leave behind, and a urinalysis. Also look at your diet concerning certain bladder, irritants, which include coffee, Coca-Cola, tea, caffeinated beverages, all sodas, chocolate, and spicy food. If you're on any of these try curbing them to see if it makes a difference. Another issue can be after menopause. Your bladder can become more irritated so sometimes utilizing estrogen may help.
