Will frequent urine holding cause cystitis?

Many times, when we are busy with work, we feel the urge to defecate. At this time, most people will choose to hold their urine and go to the toilet until they finish their work. There are also some drivers or salespeople who always hold their urine because they are busy with work. Holding urine frequently can cause great harm to the body, but most people don’t take it seriously. So, what are the dangers of holding urine? Will frequent holding of urine cause cystitis?

The dangers of holding urine frequently:

1. Cause cystitis

When you hold your urine, a large amount of urine in the bladder increases the pressure on the bladder wall, causing ischemia of the bladder mucosa and weakening of the normal antibacterial effect. When you are tired from traveling and your immunity is low, the bacteria in the urine will take advantage of the situation and invade the body, causing acute cystitis, with uncomfortable symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain, lower abdominal discomfort or pain, and even hematuria. Some patients may develop upper urinary tract infection, with serious consequences.

2. Cause urinary retention

When the bladder is overfilled for a long time, the pressure on the bladder wall increases, causing damage to the nerves and detrusor muscles that control bladder contraction, resulting in difficulty in urinating, which is called urinary retention. The elderly are more susceptible to the disease because of their weakened detrusor function and possible diseases such as prostate hyperplasia. This injury can cause permanent damage that is difficult to fully recover from.

3. Can cause prostatitis

When the pressure in the bladder increases, bacteria in the urine can also pass through the front

If a woman holds her urine frequently, it can easily lead to a retroverted uterus, and in severe cases it can lead to infertility.

No matter how much money you earn, it will all be spent on medical expenses. It is not cost-effective.
