What is the technical term for having to pee - but not being able to get it out?!
If you’re standing at a trough-style urinal with a host of other men, every man-jack of them demonstably more well-endowed than yourself, it’s called “shy kidney.”
But if you’re in the sancticy of your own home in its smallest room with bladder bursting but urinary sphincer demuring, get off the internet and contact a doctor!
That depends on whether it’s a medical problem, the guy in the next urinal, or you’ve got a stuck zipper.
If it’s medical, you could have a prostrate problem. Enlarged, infection, etc. It’s also a possible side effect of the pain killer Ultram.
If you’re not joking around, you should definitely see a doctor. If you are joking around, shaking it more than three times is considered playing with it.
pee-not?
Thank you ever so kindly Slithy 
But what if being a girl prohibits me from publicly peeing at Urinals? (Not to mention the awkward positions i’d have to assume to even try to aim at a urinal)
But it usually only happens when im at home.
Hahahaha - Ok guys, I will try “shaking” my “unshakable” a bit harder next time this happens. LOL.
Actually, no it isn’t an infection, a medical “problem” or anything severe. But occasionally i will feel like i really gotta pee and it just won’t “Come Out” nothing uncomfortable, just frustrating - yanno? heh.
And I have always wondered if there was a term for that.
Okay, now you went and did it. You just had to do it, didn’t you?
You could always use this.

What have I gone and done now? And whatever it was… Yes, I Had To. heh.
Funny device… if only it had the power to tell me the term for Urinstipation, i’d be all set!
I have even asked my doctor this question, to no avail - apparently I am in need of a wiser individual to care for my health.
You should check into being an MD, DMC, you have some helpful little ways about you.

Just in case you WANT to learn how to pee standing up. The position actually isn’t all that awkward. However, I feel that I will continue to pee sitting down, rather than give men Complexes when I walk into their potty.
That is the sickest thing I’ve heard of! Who would strap this thing on and pee while you are driving? What do you do when you are done?? I think I’d prefer the denim case though… shiver
Normally, if I’m driving and have The Urge I either find a reststop or pull over to the side of the road. But there was that time I was stuck in a traffic jam on the Dan Ryan in Chicago and HAD TO PEE! OMIGOD! NOW! and I’d be damned if I was going to drop my shorts by the side of a freeway full of board drivers, truckers, and folks waiting for the El train. Yes, I would have like to have something like that, then. Instead, I was reduced finding a half-crumpled soft-drink cup under the back seat and using that. Piss - pour out the window - piss - pour - piss - pour… No doubt the origin of the phrase “piss-poor solution to a problem”.
More likely, I’d use something like that in a small plane. It’s nasty-awful to be 8000 feet up, 15 minutes from an airport, desparate to pee and trying to use the rudder pedals and cross your legs at the same time. This makes for an interesting landing approach, sometimes so interesting the urge to pee is further intensified. Some of the boys claim to just hang “it” out the window when the need strikes, but we know what sort of liars and braggarts men are. Had one fellow up with me try to take of his problem with a coffee cup (another piss ‘n’ pour solution) but found himself unable to let loose when sitting in such close proximity to a woman, even though I SWORE I would not look. Poor man. He did thank me for parking the plane in front of the building entrance closest to the little boy’s room, though.
Anyhow, items of this nature have been sold for years to pilots, hikers, and the others mentioned, for the reasons mentioned, although this one does look a might smaller than the others I’ve seen. The initial reation is “oo, ugh, ick” until you find yourself needing one, at which point you develop a certain happiness to have it around.
Maybe these stories will help me laff the pee out, next time i can’t do it on my own. LoL.
I still have no idea what this is called. 
I coined it as ‘Urinary dry heaves’ after doing a little medical experiment with Detrol, which you can lookup at webmd.com as it’s side effects include having to pee without any pee coming out…
Never tried detrol - hahahahah -
But that’s quite creative “Urinary Dry Heaves”
Somehow - Anything related to the nether regions doing a dry heave, can serve up some mighty nasty images in itself.
:eek:
Anywayyyy - I guess i can put this topic to bed now, as I’ve found the answer.
*** Urinary Retention ***
the sporadic occurance can be the result of mild hypertension.
There are a variety of different forms of this, it seems.
Let me thank god it isn’t the form due to urethral blockage caused by ritualistic circumcision! Or AUR - Yikes!
Good GRIEF! Sometimes im so glad im a girl.
Thanks for offering your help - I much appreciate it.
Hi: I know you’re done with this, but I thought I’d throw in one more ingredient:
A friend of mine (female, like me) has endometriosis to such a severe degree that sometimes she cannot pee for quite a long time. Bladder lock!
I hope you don’t have that.
I like what they call it in the “Sporty’s Pilot Shop” cataloge. A HERE (Human Element Range Extender).
Flying magazine did consumer test on both the men’s and women’s version. Apparently they leave a lot to be desired in your average cramped cockpit.
I can just see how that went down:
Flying Magazine: “Hello, Mr. Roberts, we’d like to borrow your Bonanza for a test of some new flight equipment.”
Mr. Roberts: “Sure, anything for the benefit of aviation.”
<a few hours later>
Mr. Roberts: “What’s that smell on the upholstery?”
The term is ‘inability to micturate’.
Also ‘retention of urine’.
I neglected to also mention that the occasional inability to urinate, though feeling like you have to, but not tremendously, can be caused by two common things; The First is a mild bladder infection, and the most common. Easily and painlessly treated with oral antibiotics and the consumption of increased amounts of fluids. The Second is very possibly prostrate problems, and not necessarily cancer. As a man ages, his prostate can act up by enlarging and refusing to allow the bladder to open its valve now and then for mild urination and sometimes can make you think you have to go. This can be treated with medication or a ‘coring out,’ which is an outpatient surgical procedure used under anesthetic, actually a minor surgical procedure in which they ream out the prostate like coring an apple and you go home. Often no cutting is involved.
Either way, go get checked because even if it is a mild bladder infection, it can worsen and travel up to the kidneys and that causes a lot of pain, is harder to cure and can cause high fevers.

It was just an infrequent occurance - no pain or infection or trouble, just a wierd little thing and I was curious about the term used for it.
