What is the reason for the pain when urinating and being unable to hold urine?

In daily life, many patients always have the problem of being unable to hold back urine and experiencing pain when urinating, and they easily wet their pants if they are not careful, which is very embarrassing for the patients themselves. In fact, there are many reasons that lead to this phenomenon. The inability to hold back urine is also called urinary incontinence. Generally, urinary incontinence is mainly divided into two types, one is urgent and the other is stress. So what are the reasons?

In fact, this is related to the pressure in life, one's age, and the environment in which one lives. However, many women don’t know what is going on and are troubled by it all day long. Urge urinary incontinence refers to the sudden urge to urinate, and the feeling is very strong, as if you can't hold it in any longer. Often when this happens, you don't have time to go to the toilet and your pants are wet. The most common cause is a urinary tract infection.

Stress and urge incontinence often occur together in women, which is often called mixed incontinence. The main reasons include that the female urethra is shorter than the male urethra, only 3-5cm on average; the pelvis is wide and the muscle support is weak; the urethral sphincter is relaxed; pregnancy and childbirth cause damage to the pelvic floor muscles; the estrogen level of women decreases after middle age and the urethral mucosa atrophies; surgery causes anatomical changes to the pelvis, etc.

Women's inability to hold urine includes stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence and mixed stress urge urinary incontinence. Stress urinary incontinence, also known as tension urinary incontinence, refers to the uncontrolled and involuntary flow of urine when abdominal pressure suddenly increases due to coughing, sneezing, laughing, standing up, etc. This is the most common type of urinary incontinence among women. Women of all ages can be affected, especially those who have given birth to children with a history of difficult labor or who suffer from uterine prolapse, bladder and urethral prolapse. After menopause, women lack estrogen, which causes the urethra to become thinner, reducing the resistance through the urethra, making it more common for women to be unable to hold their urine.

Female friends with more serious conditions must go to the hospital for treatment when they experience such symptoms. Don't be embarrassed to go to the hospital for examination because of your face, otherwise the patient's condition will become very bad. Usually, you should be careful not to be overly depressed. If you are always depressed, it will aggravate your condition.
