What causes fainting while urination?
Patient: i woke up after having a short nap in the afternoon and went to the urinal. as i started urinating i fell down fainting. within seconds i resumed and got up. this is the second time i met with such an incident. can u tell why this happened and how to avoid in future Doctor: Hello,  It is probably the lowering of your blood pressure after you get up quickly that is causing the faint.  Next time, try to sit for a couple of minutes from laying in order to avoid that.  If the condition repeats after such measures, get an evaluation by your Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
