Fainting during urination or fainting during defecation

  1. Fainting during urination or fainting after defecation is not a rare occurrence. If you pass out during or immediately after urinating or urinating, this is referred to as 'micturition syncope'. If you pass out after producing a large amount of stool, it is called 'defecation syncope'. Fainting during or after urinating occurs mainly at night, after you have had a deep sleep. You wake up to urinate, get up immediately, go to the toilet, and quickly (and possibly forcefully) empty a full bladder. This can stimulate the vagus nerve causing a slow heart rhythm and a sudden drop in blood pressure, which can lead to syncope or temporary loss. Especially at night, when the physiological blood pressure is already low. You usually feel impending or imminent syncope coming, unless the drop in blood pressure is rapid and deep. In that case you collapse without a precursor. After a few seconds or minutes you will regain full consciousness.

Cause of fainting while urinating?

  1. Doctors think forceful urination stimulates the vagus nerve (the tenth cranial nerve), causing peripheral vasodilation (vasodilation) and bradycardia

Symptoms of a micturition syncope

  1. Associated symptoms of micturition collapse include prior sweating, pupil dilation, clamminess, nausea, pale skin and stomach pain

Course of syncope

  1. You usually feel threatening syncope coming, unless the drop in blood pressure is rapid and deep. In that case you collapse without a precursor. Occasionally micturition syncopation may be accompanied by jerking movements of the arms and legs, generally not rhythmic and not synchronous in the different limbs. In syncope, these shocks never occur before the fall, as can be the case with epileptic seizures (epileptic seizures). Usually there is no tongue bite, passing urine or poo, or (postictal) confusion

Complications

  1. The biggest health risks of this condition are scrapes or bruises sustained during a fall. Or more serious injuries, such as head injury or concussion

Examination and diagnosis

  1. It is wise to consult your doctor after passing out during or after urinating or defecating. Loss or fainting are a common reason for a visit to the doctor. This usually involves a reflex syncope. The doctor will review your medical history, ask you all kinds of questions about what happened and your complaints and then physically examine you. The doctor will check whether there may be any underlying conditions, such as an enlarged prostate or bradycardia

Prognosis micturition syncope

  1. Micturition syncope consists of short episodes of loss of consciousness. Although the vegetative nervous system, heart activity, and brain perfusion are affected by a chain of events leading to micturition syncope, they are not a major threat to your health. The biggest risk is falling and getting cuts, bruises or even fractures. The fact that elderly people with comorbidity are more prone to micturition syncope increases the risk of serious trauma. It is estimated that one in three patients who suffer micturition syncope has experienced some type of trauma from fainting. Drug treatment, taking preventative measures, and avoiding triggers can reduce their frequency, but it is not always effective.
