What are the effects of holding urine in normal times

Many people in life have the bad habit of holding urine, and holding urine as a bad habit is often very harmful. This bad habit has a more serious harm. It is not only the discomfort of the symptoms, but also those who hold their urine for a long time often cause the urine and some notorious bacteria in their bladder to flow back to the renal pelvis, causing reflux kidney disease. What are the effects of holding urine?

1. When 200cc of urine accumulates in the bladder, people will begin to feel the urge to urinate. If you do not urinate at this time, the bladder still has storage space. However, when it continues to accumulate to 500-600cc, the bladder will become over-inflated and the muscles that control urination will swell and relax. For people who do not often hold their urine, these muscles will quickly regain their elasticity. However, if you often force yourself to hold your urine, these muscles will become loose, making it easy for you to suffer from frequent urination and urinary incontinence in the future.

2. When you hold your urine for a long time, you will experience lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, and a feeling of incomplete urination when you urinate for the first time. This is because the over-full bladder compresses the nerves in the bladder that control urination. If you hold your urine frequently or continuously, it is very likely to cause permanent damage to the neurons and may also cause urinary incontinence in the future.

3. The bladder originally collects urine that has been metabolized by the human body. The products want to be discharged from the body, so urine contains a large number of bacteria. Fortunately, the mucous membrane inside the bladder has a certain antibacterial effect. Under normal circumstances, these bacteria will be flushed out of the body due to urination. However, if urine is held back for a long time, the resistance of the bladder mucosa will be reduced, giving bacteria an opportunity to cause urinary tract infection. In severe cases, it will reach the bladder and kidneys, causing symptoms such as acute cystitis and hematuria.

4. In addition, some people will experience urine reflux during acute cystitis. When the bacteria-laden urine flows back into the kidneys, it may cause acute pyelonephritis and hydronephritis, which will not only affect the function of the kidneys, but may also lead to renal failure or even dialysis in the future.

5. In order to avoid the trouble of having to go to the toilet frequently outside, some people simply drink less water. In winter, due to reduced sweating, there is no danger to life. However, in summer, the body loses more water, and not replenishing water will not only cause damage to the kidneys but also easily lead to the risk of heat stroke and shock. How to prevent it? How to deal with it: When you have been holding your urine for a while, in addition to emptying your bladder as soon as possible, the best way is to drink plenty of water and force yourself to urinate more often. This has a flushing effect on the bladder and can prevent the growth of bacteria in the bladder.

Drink more water: The recommended daily amount is 2000-3000cc. Sufficient water can protect the health of the urinary tract. In fact, if you experience any discomfort in your bladder or urethra, you can drink more water before seeing a doctor. Because accelerated excretion is the best way to solve all urinary tract problems and can effectively alleviate the condition, never refuse to drink water because you are afraid of pain or going to the toilet.

Warm reminder: In order to reduce the harm of holding urine, girls should empty their bladders into the toilet at home before going out. If you feel that the toilets in public places are not clean, you can actually prepare some disposable toilets.
