What is pee desperation?

Pee desperation is the physical and psychological state of needing to urinate urgently. It can cause discomfort, distraction, and even pain if left untreated. Pee desperation can occur due to various reasons including the consumption of fluids, medical conditions affecting the urinary tract, anxiety, and stress. Some common symptoms of pee desperation include increased urgency to urinate, frequent trips to the bathroom, difficulty holding urine, and discomfort in the lower abdomen or bladder. If left untreated, pee desperation can lead to urinary incontinence, bladder infections, and other complications. Treatment options include behavioral changes like timed voiding and pelvic floor exercises, medications, and surgery in severe cases.
