What is your guidance for someone who suffers from delayed urination after some have advised him to release sexual urges or urinate standing up, and he is unable to marry due to financial circumstances?

You can consult doctors regarding your problem, as lawful medications are available for its treatment. It is not permissible to seek treatment through masturbation, as it is forbidden. Urinating while standing is permissible, even though urinating while sitting is preferable. If the urine stops for a sufficient time for purification and prayer, then you must wait to pray during that time. However, if it is continuous, then you are a person afflicted with incontinence ( سلس ), and you perform ablution for each prayer after its time has begun, and you pray as much as you wish until the time expires, while taking precautions by tying a cloth to prevent the spread of impurity.
