It has something to do with Urinating in Public or with others nearby...
If you have this, don't go to prison...

"Urophobia is the fear of urine or of urination. Sometimes referred to as paruesis or bashful bladder syndrome, Urophobia derives from the Greek word "ouro", meaning urine and "phobos" meaning fear.
It is thought that Urophobia affects more men than women."
