Are you a long time sufferer of the dreaded Paruresis? If this is the case, there are two important things that you really need to know:
1. Over 17 million people cope with the inconvenience of this malady in the world every day. You have the comfort of knowing you do not suffer alone.
2. It's easier than you think to treat and beat this disorder.
This is also known by other terms such as bashful kidneys, urophobia, pee shyness, pee fright, psychogenic urinary retention, bashful bladder and stage fright. This stressful and anxious situation occurs during social public bathroom interactions.
Urination is difficult or impossible in these situations due to the fear of those nearby being able to detect audible evidence that they are using the toilet. Moving vehicles such as planes and buses are also difficult for those suffering this and can contribute to Paruresis. Clearly, this problem can affect a person's life very negatively.
Over 17 million sufferers should know that there's no shame in this malady. Being a sensitive subject and not great table conversation, this usually goes unspoken about. As a result, the problem is usually not addressed and can be lifelong. But besides the obvious issues this condition causes, it can actually cause physical harm to the bladder and renal system.
Restriction of fluid intake by sufferers can lead to damage to the renal system as well as the bladder itself. If you don't drink enough water because you won't have a private moment to urinate soon, such as commuting on a train, infections can take hold. Cystitis and kidney stones may become a problem in certain scenarios.
This behavior is traceable to our origins, where urinating in front of others would put you at a tactical disadvantage. In other words, caught with your pants down, you're more vulnerable to attack. There's nothing wrong with using a private bathroom, if you have the option but the paralyzing effect of Paruresis can be physically damaging.
Feeling safe can contribute to a sufferers' ability to urinate, essentially negating this primal response. The dread of knowing that you'll have to use a public restroom can lead to further inability to go when the time does come. When the brain comes to interpret the thought of and sight of public bathrooms as a threat, it gets all the more difficult.
Such a debilitating condition can drastically affect the lives of sufferers to the point that it contributes to a feeling of disharmony and lack in faith in themselves. Those who won't make travel plans without very carefully planning for bathroom opportunities are affected in a very fundamental way.
The root cause of shy bladder syndrome is often found in an experience that brought about a lot of stress and anxiety in the bathroom. From this point on it was very difficult for the individual to go in public. But for the most part the bulk of the sufferers blame this traumatic event they experienced as the problem. You it usually happens during their teen years and it usually involves bullying, harassment or teasing of some kind as they attempt to use the bathroom.
It's your unconscious mind that is holding you back, so if you want to treat this disorder you must immediately begin retraining it. Thankfully for people who suffer with this condition this can be achieved.
