Some other synonyms for paruretic include shy bladder syndrome, urophobia, and pee-shyness. The condition is common among individuals who fear being observed while urinating in public restrooms, leading to avoidance behaviors such as waiting until they are alone to urinate or seeking out secluded areas to do so.

It is advisable for individuals with this condition to seek treatment from a mental health professional to overcome this fear and improve their quality of life.
