If you suffer from shy bladder syndrome and find it difficult, or even impossible, to pee when others are around or in a public restroom then this website is for you! It may feel like you’re the only one but you may be surprised with latest statistics which show that around 7% of the global population are affected by this condition.

In fact, Paruresis (official name) has actually been categorised as a form of social anxiety disorder. It goes by various alternative names including shy bladder syndrome, bashful bladder, pee shyness or pee fright. It’s absolutely nothing to be ashamed of and the good news is that it CAN be overcome.

Here at shybladdersyndrome.org you’ll find a wealth of information, tips and links to discrete self-help treatments for shy bladder so that you can cure the condition and make yourself pee.

Shy Bladder Syndrome – Cause & Effect

In order to urinate the ring of muscle that controls the flow of urine from the bladder (the urinary sphincter) needs to relax. This muscle is controlled by particular neurons located in a small region in the brainstem called Barrington’s nucleus. The nerve impulses they send out instruct the urinary sphincter to relax when someone is ready to pee. In the case of Paruresis the messages from the neurons have become distorted meaning that, even if you need or want to pee, muscle relaxation doesn’t happen.

In other words Shy Bladder Syndrome is a psychological condition which causes and results in a physical malfunction. There’s nothing medically wrong (always check with a medical professional first though), the brain is sending out the wrong messages for some reason – and this reason is usually relating to a fear of possible embarrassing scrutiny which has been triggered by some form of traumatic event in earlier life.

Can shy bladder be cured? Most definitely YES … by simply “resetting” the natural responses in the brain to the ones you were born with! There are various ways in which this can be done and we aim to help you with this.

So, what can you do to overcome the form of anxiety behind paruresis without talking to someone about it? Well, there are a number of self help treatments for shy bladder syndrome on the market today. And there’s two in particular that we recommend you check out.

Overcome Shy Bladder Syndrome

A self hypnosis treatment program which can really prove incredibly effective.
Self-hypnosis may not be for everyone but keep an open mind because we’ve actually found it to really help. It comes in teh form of a short audio program, designed to be listened to over and over again, whenever you need it.
It’s basically all about  learning to re-educate your unconscious mind to allow you to urinate easily when you need to. It sounds so simple and actually … it really is!
Again, not an overnight fix (nothing ever is) but it does work. There’s some excellent reviews and, we think that for the sake of just a few dollars it’s well worth a try.

Paruresis is one of the most common phobias yet we rarely hear it discussed, talked about or promoted.
