It's called shy bladder syndrome, or paruresis, and it's a type of social anxiety disorder that makes it difficult or impossible to pee in public restrooms or with people nearby. This happens when people are psychologically blocked, which tightens the sphincters - muscles that control the opening and closing of the bladder outlet. It refers to both a minor passing discomfort and an extreme situation that literally prevents a person from relieving themselves when not alone or not in private restrooms. How common of a condition is it? Is it the fear of being seen or heard that causes this disorder? What can be done to address these blockages? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
