for a few hours now [maybe 3 hours] I've felt as though I've needed to pee and can't. I've drank milk, water and green tea and I have peed but it's been slow and little and embarrassingly I seem to be leaking 
just a small amount of pee every few minutes.
This is really uncomfortable, not painful but there's a slight burning sensation
I'm a young guy if that makes a difference and haven't really had anything like this before. Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers

edit: it`s important to go as often as your body tells you to, even if it`s a teaspoon every five minutes.
I have a catheter at the mo and going for a TURP,
But I'm pretty sure the the young OP problem is different to mine.
Go see GP , some sort of infection.
Go to docs, a simple test will tell you, but yes it is annoying feeling the need to pee and you cant actually go
I believe that the experts have now declared the benefits of cranberry juice as a myth.
The claims I've seen for cranberry juice is that it can help to protect against UTI, which is different from being a cure for an advanced infection.
Hopefully, the OP has now got an appointment with his GP today - taking a water sample (mid stream) with him will save doing it at the surgery.
I'm totally off cranberry now. I actually bought a carton because I thought I had been drinking so many hot drinks recently I needed to 'clear the system'. A week later I'm on antibiotics after managing a good couple of years without an UTI. Total opposite effect of what I wanted, bloody cranberry juice
Cranberry juice is quite acidic, but I wouldn't have thought one carton would have any adverse effects.
Has anything happened that might have lowered your immunity to infections, such as heavy use of alcohol, high stress levels, lack of sleep, long periods of immobility?
If you are prone to urinary infections, a few pints of water a day should help to reduce the risk.
there are many ways of helping cure uti's, (don't try the one with a pipe cleaner,) but what works best is antibiotics. from a doctor.
Most of the above (bar the alcohol), but it's been like that for over a year now and bar one cold I haven't been ill. I know water is the best thing, just far nicer to have a nice hot coffee on the cold days. I think a sudden change in the weather makes people ill, going from cold to warm, back to cold again can mess up your system.
been feeling unwell generally though the past few weeks so think i'll make an appointment with the doctor. Bought some cranberry juice
Not if you drink the right cranberry juice. Too many people drink the stuff with sugar and other additives instead of pure cranberry juice. Only the pure stuff will do!
