Holding urine is very harmful to the bladder. When you hold urine, it will cause the muscles of the bladder wall to overstretch, which will cause ischemic reactions in the nerves and cause damage. At this time, it is easy to cause pain during defecation. It is okay once or twice, but if you hold urine for a long time, it may take a long time to recover, and it may even cause damage to the bladder. The disadvantages of holding urine Many people have experienced holding urine, some because they are too busy at work to leave, and some because they want to play cards or games and refuse to leave the "battlefield". However, if you don’t urinate in time when you feel the urge to urinate, it is very bad for your health. In fact, normal urination can not only excrete metabolic products in the body, but also has a self-cleaning effect on the urinary system. So what are the disadvantages of women holding urine? 1. Urinary incontinence. The structure of the female body is special. The sphincter is an important control muscle that controls the urine in the bladder to enter the urethra. Unlike men, women do not have two internal and external sphincters. They only rely on a single sphincter to hold urine. Frequent holding of urine may lead to sphincter weakness. If you hold your urine for a long time, the sphincter will become fatigued and weak, leading to urinary incontinence. 2. Posterior tilt of the uterus. Because the female internal reproductive organs and the bladder "live together" in the pelvic cavity and have a "close" relationship, the uterus is located behind the bladder. Holding urine will cause the bladder to fill, and the full bladder will compress the uterus, causing it to tilt backwards. 3. If you often hold your urine during dysmenorrhea , the retroverted uterus will be difficult to reposition. When the bladder severely compresses the uterus, it will hinder the outflow of menstrual blood and may lead to severe dysmenorrhea symptoms. 4. Low back pain : If the compressed uterus "squeezes" the nerve plexus in front of the sacrum, it can cause lumbar pain. 5. Infertility : When you hold your urine, the uterus tilts backwards. When this pressure reaches a certain point, it will hinder the outflow of menstrual blood. In mild cases, it may cause dysmenorrhea. In severe cases, it may also cause lumbar pain, pain in sexual intercourse, and even worse, infertility. 6. Bladder damage: Frequent holding of urine can easily lead to bladder damage. This is because in the process of holding urine, the bladder continues to expand in order to store urine, and the blood vessels on the bladder wall are compressed. If this continues for a long time, it can easily lead to ischemia of the bladder mucosa, thereby affecting the normal function of the bladder. If you force yourself to hold your urine for a long time, the urine in your bladder will continue to increase. When it exceeds the tolerance of the bladder smooth muscle, it will cause the bladder to rupture. 7. Urinary tract infection: There are a large number of bacteria around the urethra of normal people. During urination, it can help excrete metabolites from the body and urine can help flush these bacteria. Holding urine frequently can easily lead to a large accumulation of bacteria in the urethra, causing urinary tract infection. 8. Renal failure: When you hold your urine, your bladder will continue to expand. When your body's resistance is reduced, bacteria will take advantage of the opportunity to enter. Severe urinary tract infection may also cause renal failure. 9. Pyelonephritis often causes urine to remain in the bladder for a longer period of time, which easily provides an opportunity for bacteria to multiply in large numbers. While the bacteria multiply in large numbers, they also continue to invade tissues. And in the process of holding urine, the bacteria have enough pressure and time to continue to swim upward, which may cause pyelonephritis. 10. Urinary syncope: Frequent holding of urine can easily lead to urinary syncope, and this situation often occurs in people between the ages of 20 and 30. This is mainly because suddenly urinating forcefully after holding urine causes a sudden and sharp increase in pressure in the chest cavity, leading to cerebral ischemia. Another reason is that suddenly releasing urine after holding it in can easily lead to bradycardia caused by the vagal nerve reflex, which can induce urinary syncope. |
