Why do you always get a sudden urge to urinate when taking a long-distance bus?

Patient's question:

Usually it's normal, but when taking a long-distance bus, I feel the urge to urinate, and there's no problem with sitting for 2 hours a few times, only when sitting for more than 3 hours do I experience the urge to urinate. Sometimes it starts the moment I get on the bus, and I can't focus on anything else on the way, always wanting to go to the toilet. What could be the issue? Is it psychological or physical? Additionally, I've noticed that I urinate more frequently in the afternoon lately, which I believe is due to drinking more water at noon. Normally, I drink two bowls of soup and one cup of water at noon, totaling about 1000 ML. During peak times, I might need to go to the toilet 3-4 times in the afternoon, but this is only occasional and not frequent. However, the issue of needing to hold in urine while on a long-distance bus has been ongoing. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello? This involves both psychological and physical factors, and the two aspects are interdependent, with one serving as a cause and effect of the other. You should reflect on when this condition began and whether it was triggered by a sudden event, leading to psychological tension. It's advisable to visit a hospital for related examinations of the kidneys and prostate to check for any organic changes. In daily life, pay attention to relieving stress, and engage in activities like talking to others or reading in the car to distract yourself. If the issue is psychological, seek timely consultation with a psychologist. In addition to treating male urological conditions, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
