Why do I always feel like I can’t urinate completely?

Excretion is a normal manifestation of the body's metabolism. Excretion is very important to people's bodies because it can keep the body clean and reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines. There are two main types of excretion: defecation and urination. Among them, urination is the most prone to problems. For example, why do you always feel that you cannot urinate completely? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

Urinary incontinence is a medical term that refers to the typical symptoms of urinary tract infection and one of the main urination symptoms of prostatitis. The section from the renal pelvis to the external urethra is called the urinary tract. Any bacterial infection in any part of the urinary tract is called a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections include cystitis and pyelonephritis, which can cause urinary incontinence.

Urinary incompleteness refers to the feeling of a full bladder and an urgent need to urinate, which cannot be relieved after urination. It is also accompanied by symptoms of frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and white discharge from the urethra. This condition is called "incomplete urination" in medicine, and quantitative indicators are given to diagnose this disease: urination of 1000-2000ml per day, 4-6 times during the day, and 0-2 times at night. Any flow beyond this range can be confirmed as incomplete urination.

Inflammatory stimulation

When there is inflammation in the bladder, the nerve perception threshold is lowered and the urination center is in an excited state, resulting in incomplete urination and reduced urine volume (<300-500 ml/time in adults). Therefore, inability to urinate completely is an important symptom of cystitis, especially in acute cystitis and tuberculous cystitis. Other conditions, such as prostatitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, chronic balanoposthitis in children, vulvitis, etc., may also cause urinary incontinence. Under the stimulation of inflammation, incomplete urination, urgency and pain in urination often occur at the same time, which is called urinary tract irritation syndrome, commonly known as the "tri-uria syndrome".

Non-inflammatory irritants

For example, urinary tract stones and foreign bodies usually present with incomplete urination as the main manifestation.

Reduced bladder capacity

Such as bladder space-occupying lesions, compression from the enlarged uterus during pregnancy, tuberculous bladder contracture, or large bladder stones.

Neurological

Incomplete urination only occurs during the day or before going to bed at night, and is often caused by mental tension or hysteria. This may also be accompanied by urinary urgency and pain.
