Shy Bladder Protocol - Toilet Phobia Treatment, Paruresis Treatment System br br br Shy bladder syndrome, or parauresis, simply refers to the inability - or reduced ability - to urinate in public, in the company of others. In milder cases, a man might have trouble using a public urinal in a busy venue - such as a sports arena - while in more severe cases, men might be so limited that social events and even long plane rides are out of the question. br br Clearly, this issue can severely impair a man's ability to participate in regular activities - imagine trying to get through a long day at work without the ability to void the bladder. br br Dealing with this problem can lead to some significant consequences for a man's emotional health, relationships, and even his penis health.
