They're both correct, but the singular would be the natural choice in most situations.

You may be thinking of certain slang expressions, such as "I've got the ----s."

If you used the plural in describing habitual behavior, you'd omit the article:

We have urges to urinate whenever etc.

unless you're referring to specific urges. Then you could include the "the."
