Feel the urge but then cannot void or empty bladder.

• A. Frequency
• B. Dysuria
• C. Urgency
• D. Hematuria

Answer: (C)

Urgency is the sudden, compelling urge to urinate that is difficult to postpone. In this scenario, the key feature is the intense urge to void that does not relieve immediately, which matches urgency. It’s different from frequency (simply more frequent trips to the bathroom), dysuria (painful or burning urination), and hematuria (blood in the urine). So the description centers on the urgent drive to void, making urgency the best fit. If needed, note that urinary retention can accompany urgency when there’s an obstruction or detrusor dysfunction, but the defining symptom here is the urgent sensation to void.
