Waiting to urinate is usually defined as a prolonged wait before urinating. Waiting to pass urine is indicated when the waiting time is between 20 seconds and 2 minutes. Under normal circumstances, the bladder sphincter relaxes immediately after the brain gives the command to urinate, and the urine is quickly released. In the case of waiting to urinate, the waiting time to urinate is 20 seconds to 20 minutes after becoming aware of the need to urinate, and may be longer in some patients. Waiting for urine usually indicates that there is obstruction in the urinary tract, which may be related to some disease factors, such as chronic prostatitis, urethral stenosis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary tumors, etc., and may be accompanied by difficulty in urination, urinary weakness, or even recurrent urinary retention. Therefore, after the occurrence of waiting for urine, it is recommended to consult a doctor for examination and treatment to avoid adverse effects.
