Paruresy

The paruresy ( paruresis ), urinophobie or syndrome of the “timid Vessie ” is impossibility or a great difficulty for an individual of urinating in the presence of other people. This Syndrome is sometimes restricted to the individuals testing a difficulty of urinating under constraint of the Temps, when other people can observe them or listen to them, or when it is about public Toilette S. No gene is raised in the absence of these constraints.

Causes

The causes of such a syndrome can be basiquement explained by a combination of a state of Stress contracting the Sphincter S and slackening the vesical Muscle. The origin of this incapacity to urinate is without any doubt of a psychological nature , revealing sometimes characteristics of social Phobie.

General information

It would seem that between 1 % and 7 % of the population is reached of paruresy even if this figure is probably an undervaluation, being given the embarrassment relating to the syndrome. The paruresy also seems to touch much more the men that the women (approximately 90 % of men), because of the presence of Urinal S in the public toilets for men. It is also to note that the paruresy would be at the origin of the Otohime (device imitating the noise of a water hunting in order to cover the noise of the micturition) in the Japanese Toilettes.
