Social Phobia/Anxiety and frequent urination?

Hello, I just joined this forum yesterday. I am a 25 year old male and suffer from social phobia. This might seem like a strange question but I was wondering if any of you folks with anxiety experience frequent urination?

Every 1/2 an hour to an hour I find my self feeling the sensation to urinate. It is very annoying and it is interrupting my sleep. Sometime a small stream will come out other times a large, but after I am "done", I always get the feeling I have not complety emptied my bladder. My muscles tighten and I cannot sqeeze another drop out. This happens at home.

In public, I cannot use a urinal, even if the rest room is empty. I have to be in stall, and it takes a long time to start a stream.

Has anybody else with anxiety experined this? Are there drugs to help?

I am too embarrassed to tell my doctor, but it is so annying I just might have bite the bullet and do it.

Thank you all for your time.

Thanks for the reply, I had this for a number of years and I know its not a tract infection. There is no pain when I urinate.
