Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Urine flow: If you have this issue everywhere it is likely physical; if you have it only in public places it is likely psychological. In either case, please see your doctor. If psychological see a clinical psychologist who can treat you for "bashful bladder." If medical, your doc will help. Peace and good health.
