Shy Bladder Syndrome, also called Paruresis, is a psychosomatic condition characterized by difficulty or inability to urinate in the presence of others, such as in public restrooms or around unfamiliar people. It is not caused by any structural abnormality of the urinary tract but is often linked to social anxiety, stress, or past traumatic experiences. Patients may experience bladder discomfort, urinary retention, or anxiety that worsens in social or public settings. Although not life-threatening, it can significantly impact quality of life, causing embarrassment, avoidance behaviors, and emotional distress.

In Homoeopathy, Shy Bladder Syndrome is approached by addressing both the psychological and physical components of the disorder. Remedies are chosen based on the patient’s anxiety, fear of public situations, urinary symptoms, and general constitution. The aim is to reduce fear and inhibition, restore normal urinary function, and improve confidence in social situations. Constitutional treatment is often combined with behavioral therapy for optimal results.
