Patient's question:
Age-related chronic bedridden, frequent urination, each time only a little, except for pain, the hospital said it was benign prostatic hyperplasia and cannot hold urine. Hello, why can't patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia hold urine?Doctor's answer:
Holding back urine often causes mental distress, as one wants to endure it but is also troubled by the uncontrollable leakage of urine, which can wet the bed or clothes. This mental burden can persist for a long time, eventually leading to psychogenic enuresis. Upon hearing the sound of water or seeing urine in the toilet, individuals with this condition feel an urgent need to urinate. The inability to hold back urine is often related to the relaxation of the bladder sphincter, which may be due to factors such as female physiology or the natural aging process of the body. Chronic holding back urine can cause the bladder muscles to gradually become (relaxed) and lose their contractile strength, resulting in symptoms such as difficulty urinating and slow urination. If young individuals experience these symptoms again, it should be considered whether they are experiencing a urinary tract infection or urinary system stones.
