It is relatively rare for women to feel like urinating but be unable to urinate in daily life. However, the harm caused by the occurrence of this symptom cannot be ignored by female friends. If you do not pay attention to it in time and actively check and treat it, it may cause serious impact on various aspects of daily life. Why does the woman feel like urinating but can't urinate? What are the reasons for women's difficulty urinating? Let's take a closer look below!

Why does a woman feel like urinating but can't urinate?

(1) Narrowing of the distal urethral opening

This problem is common in middle-aged and elderly women. It is mainly due to the shrinkage and adhesion of the urethral mucosa caused by the lack of estrogen, which leads to the narrowing of the distal side of the urethral opening. At present, the cause of the disease is not clear, but it is considered to be a symptom caused by urethritis and urethral trauma. Although few people are familiar with symptoms such as distal urethral stenosis in daily life, it does not mean that unfamiliarity will not occur easily. In general, no matter what the cause of female urination difficulties is, it must be taken seriously and treated symptomatically.

(2) Bladder and cervical spasms

Women who feel like urinating but cannot may have bladder spasm. The main clinical symptoms are difficulty urinating, narrowed urine flow and a significant feeling of incomplete urination. In addition, some patients may also experience bladder pain after holding back urine. In severe cases, there is even the possibility of upper urethral damage, which requires immediate attention and active treatment. I believe that many female friends feel very unfamiliar when they see the symptoms of bladder and cervical spasm, and some people have never heard of bladder and cervical spasm at all, but in any case, they still need to invest all their funds in targeted treatment.

(3) Cystitis

Cystitis is a common urinary and reproductive system disease in clinical medicine, which is mainly caused by urinary tract infection. Because the female urethra is shorter than the male urethra, and the female urethra is close to the anus, cystitis is more common in women. Why do women feel like urinating but can't? After the onset of cystitis, frequent urination, urgency, inability to hold urine, pain when urinating, and obvious discomfort and lower abdominal pain will occur, which have a great impact on the health of women's urinary and reproductive systems.

(4) Pelvic prolapse

Pelvic prolapse is a more serious symptom of pelvic floor muscle relaxation in women. When the activity of the female urethral opening increases, stress urinary incontinence may occur. As the degree of prolapse continues to worsen, the problem of bladder prolapse worsens, resulting in obvious urination difficulties. The harm to health is obvious.

The above is an introduction to the relevant content about women who feel like urinating but cannot urinate. In fact, there are many reasons why women feel like urinating but cannot urinate. After the relevant abnormalities occur, they must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, so as to avoid greater risks and harms.
