Problems with urination in public

A typical problem with urination is the inability to urinate in public. Men who go to public toilets are particularly affected. The problem is called “paruresis” and is psychological.

Out of fear of the thoughts of other people in the public toilet, the bladder neck muscles tense up and make urination impossible. The problem worsens by itself when the affected person is under pressure when the problem occurs and makes the fear even worse. Once the spell is broken, urination works, even if people still enter the toilet.
