social phobia, the key is that patient is not comfortable to urinate in "public" restrooms only,
if he was afraid to urinate in any restroom even at home, i would call it specific phobia

this is typical of social phobia. as yulia has rightly pointed out, his distress is not about urination, but urination in public restrooms. these people feel emabarassed about their passing gas while peeing, and feel that someone will actually point out that and ridicule them.
