Some patients experience occasional suprapubic pressure after a urinary tract infection because of residual inflammation of the bladder and/or surrounding tissues. These symptoms should resolve within 1-2 weeks after the infection clears. If the symptoms do not resolve, worsen or you develop burning with urination, then you should be re-evaluated to determine if you have a reinfection. Other common causes of suprapubic pain/pressure include constipation, uterine fibroids, and pelvic inflammation.
