Yes pain/burning urgency and frequency can be symptoms that present but NOT in all cases, there are people everyday with silent infections, and I am not saying it has to even be in an infection but having it ruled out is a great place to start , most people think incontinence is a disease itself which is false , it generally is a sign of greater dysfunction (disease/illness) in the body, let your doctor know if the earliest he can see you is the 18th you can find someone else , Doctors specifically schedule times every day to fit an urgent appointment by a patient plus not every patient comes to there appointment , as a matter of fact most doctors schedule three patients for the same 15 minute period hoping that one shows up, missing appointments or canceling appointments at the last minute is epidemic , so much so that some practices schedule 5 patients for the same 15 minute period , the squeaky wheel gets the grease, it's time to squeak, and to be honest with you it would not even take an appointment , to rule out infection it takes less than five minutes , they either do a quick test or throw it under the microscope and look at it ( if it is an infection they may have to culture it in the lab to find the specific organism and what it it is susceptible to , but in the case of infrequent infections hitting it with a broad spectrum antibiotic will get the job done ) Incontinent episodes are not normal or customary and have a cause that needs to be identified lack of action can result in permanent incontinence and sometimes death , neither of these are very preffered outcomes by most people, a normal 24 year old who starts having Incontinent episodes would be "freaking out" and it would be panic at the Disco to get an answer why, how, when will it stop, you seem so apathetic to your health it is making wonder " how much you love diapers" that you don't wear often , are you one of those people who can only get "acceptance & understanding " by friends and family of diapers unless you are full Incontinent period, full stop, and then you think it would be OK to be a DL , maybe this is the answer to your prayers so you think or maybe your just yanking our chain ? An otherwise healthy 24 year old would want answers ASAP, and trust me as a Paramedic and Nurse I know how people panic and call a Paramedic ambulance for things you don't even need a Doctor for , that's why they have minute clinics or Doc in box clinics , and the funny thing is the created them to lighten the load on E.D's and encouraged people to use them and the message got so screwed up that Doc in a box is calling the ambulance because people that should go directly to the hospital by ambulance arent because doc in a box is cheaper and you don't have to wait as long because in E.D's patients are triaged to the urgency that is needed and the paper cuts and I stapled my paperwork to my finger folks can sit for hours even days to be told "here is a bandaid get some neosporin" or "have you had a tetnus shot lately" at a cost of like $3,000 dollars to them or their insurance.
