What happens when men want to urinate but can't?

Many people are troubled by the desire to urinate but not being able to urinate, especially for men. The desire to urinate but not being able to urinate is likely caused by some diseases, which are also related to urinary system diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the cause before determining the treatment method. So what is the reason for wanting to urinate but not being able to urinate? Why does this happen to men?

1. Men are unable to urinate. It is considered that it is caused by urinary stones. Some stones may slide down with the urine flow and get stuck in the narrow part of the urethra, causing difficulty in urination. It is also considered that it is bladder sphincter dysfunction caused by urinary tract infection. First of all, some methods should be used to drain urine, such as hot water bag, listening to the sound of running water, local massage and other measures. If necessary, it may be necessary to consider retaining catheterization to drain urine. Then go to the doctor to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically.

2. Since the prostate is the gate that controls male urination, once the prostate becomes inflamed, the nerves and blood vessels in the gland are damaged, the gate that controls urination fails, and the symptom of incomplete urination will appear. Prostatitis is also often manifested as frequent urination, urgency, pain, discomfort, burning sensation during urination, and milky white secretions at the urethral opening. If the urethra and bladder are severely stimulated after the prostate, resulting in the inability to relax the pelvic floor muscles, there will always be a sense of urgency and a feeling of urine, but in fact there may not be urine.

3. Feeling like you have urine but can’t urinate, this condition is called incomplete urination, which is common in chronic prostatitis. Chronic prostatitis is a common disease in adolescent males. The main cause may be bacterial infection or urethral muscle dysfunction, which causes increased urethral pressure and urine backflow into the prostate, causing aseptic inflammatory reactions. In addition to incomplete urination, patients will also experience a series of symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain. Generally, it is necessary to go to the urology department for a prostate color Doppler ultrasound examination to make a clear diagnosis. If the prostate color Doppler ultrasound examination results indicate uneven prostate echoes, prostatitis can usually be diagnosed.
