But make no mistake: Scheduling an appointment can save you a lot of discomfort and pain, and it could even save your life.

Here are six signs that it might be time to make the call.

1. You have a urinary tract infection (UTI) that won’t go away.

If you experience burning, painful and frequent urination that doesn’t improve with antibiotics, it could be a sign that you have interstitial cystitis (IC), also known as a painful bladder.

A urologist will test your urine and examine your bladder with a cystoscope to make the diagnosis. IC can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs and can also be prevented by avoiding certain triggers, typically alcohol, spicy foods, caffeine and chocolate.

2.

You’re urinating a lot or leaking urine.
