What is the reason why men cannot urinate?

Sometimes, because you are working or doing other important things, you can't urinate after you feel the urge to urinate, and the result is that you have to hold it back again and again. You know, the feeling of holding urine is very painful, especially for some female friends. If you develop the habit of holding urine for a long time, it may bring a huge burden to the body and even suffer from some serious urinary diseases. So, what is the reason why men can't urinate?

Why can't I pee?

"Not being able to urinate" is called acute urinary retention, which mostly occurs in patients with prostatic hyperplasia. Especially when drinking, tired, or sleeping deeply, the bladder will be overfilled, resulting in a decrease in detrusor tension, resulting in a situation where one wants to urinate but cannot urinate.

So, what are the symptoms of prostate hyperplasia?

1. Frequent urination

Frequent urination is a major sign of prostate hyperplasia, especially at night when the urine volume increases. If you urinate more than 4 times at night and gradually have difficulty urinating or even urinary incontinence, it means that the obstruction is getting worse and should be taken seriously.

2. Interrupted urination

If the prostate gland enlarges, crystals in the urine can easily form bladder stones, which can cause interruptions in urination.

3. Painful and urgent urination

Patients with prostatic hyperplasia are prone to not emptying the urine in their bladder completely, which can easily lead to bacterial infection, causing symptoms of painful and urgent urination.

4. Frequent urine retention

Some people have trouble urinating and sometimes hold it in. This practice not only causes toxins in the urine to accumulate in the body, but also causes great harm to the health of the prostate.

5. Other inflammatory causes

If some inflammations are not treated in time, they can also cause prostate hyperplasia, such as cystitis and urethritis.
