What happens when men feel like urinating but can’t?

Men's health is a family's wealth, because men play a leading role in the family. Once men have health problems, it will have a great impact on the family. Men are most likely to have reproductive problems when they reach middle age, which will bring great troubles to men's lives. For example, what happens when men feel like urinating but can't? Let's take a look at the explanation below.

Psychological factors: When going to the toilet or being hospitalized, some people may feel panic and nervous when urinating. In this state, the dilator muscle in the urethra will be tense and not relax, and it will be difficult to urinate even if the detrusor muscle contracts.

Prostate problems: Dysuria is a common symptom of prostate problems. The prostate participates in the formation of the dilator muscle in the urethra and has the function of controlling urination. For example, prostate hyperplasia may compress the urethra or bladder neck, causing urinary tract obstruction, leading to thickening of the detrusor muscle, and symptoms such as urinary retention, hematuria, and incontinence. Most prostate cancers are accompanied by obstructive symptoms, including urinary retention, urinary pain, hematuria, or urinary incontinence. Prostatitis may also cause local congestion and swelling, compress the urethra, and cause urinary retention.

Urethral problems : In addition to prostate problems that can affect the urethra and cause urinary retention, urethral problems such as urethral stones, urethritis, urethral injury, urethral stenosis, urethral orifice stenosis, etc. can also cause urinary retention symptoms.

Spinal cord injury: Damage to or disease of the spinal cord below the urinary center may cause urinary incontinence of a neurological nature.

Other reasons: Some drugs have an inhibitory effect on the parasympathetic nervous system, such as antidepressants and certain cold medicines, which can cause urinary retention; excessive drinking may lead to detrusor muscle weakness and prostate edema, leading to urinary retention.

There are many reasons for the occurrence of urinary retention symptoms. When men have urinary retention symptoms, they need to pay attention to whether it is a prostate problem. When there is a prostate problem, there are usually symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination.

If the symptom of urine retention occurs occasionally, we need to rule out psychological factors or taking certain drugs; if the symptom of urine retention occurs frequently, we need to consider whether it is caused by disease and seek medical examination in time. If the symptom of urine retention is caused by disease factors, eat less spicy and irritating food, eat less salty and flatulent food, and do not drink alcohol; avoid overwork and cold in life.
