I have read where it can be a nervous habit. I have had this (and it was certainly not an UTI) however, sometimes I think the awareness plus getting stressed makes it worse. There are some tips online to break the habit. I think one was...like trying to lengthen the time between each trip to the bathroom. Distraction. No caffeine, of course. I also think I cut back on liquids during that time. This is the opposite of when you have an UTI when you should drink more water. I didn't need to go to the doctor. It went away on its own. PS I drink a lot of herbal iced tea and I found out that hibiscus tea can be a diuretic...so I also stopped drinking hibiscus tea at that time and it helped. Play detective a bit. Also...hot shower or bath for relaxation is good.
