Why does holding urine lead to cystitis?

In many cases in life, we have the habit of holding urine. When sleeping or surfing the Internet, many people hold urine to a certain extent. This will cause a certain amount of pressure on our bladder and cause cystitis, which requires our attention. Holding urine is harmful to your health. There are many bacteria in urine. If they are not discharged, they will enter the body and cause various diseases. Let's take a look at why holding urine can lead to cystitis?

Holding urine for a long time can cause certain damage to the bladder nerves, causing ischemia of the bladder nerves and functional degeneration, and may even lead to urinary incontinence. We need to pay attention to this, reduce the situation of holding urine, and reduce damage to the body.

Why does holding urine lead to cystitis? Holding urine is an important predisposing factor to acute urinary retention (inability to urinate). Holding urine for a long time may cause ischemia and hypoxia of the bladder nerves and damage them, resulting in weakness of the bladder detrusor muscle, and deterioration of the bladder function that has already suffered from prostate obstruction. It may lead to chronic urinary retention and even overflow incontinence. Therefore, holding urine can lead to cystitis.

If a child holds his urine for a long time, it is easy to cause bladder pressure reflex disorder and decreased detrusor function, resulting in "frequent urination syndrome"; or it may affect the anti-reflux mechanism of the ureter and bladder, causing urine reflux, which is prone to complications of pyelonephritis and renal damage. If patients with hypertension or heart disease hold their urine, it will not only cause cystitis, but also cause physical and psychological tension, causing high blood pressure in patients with hypertension, arrhythmia in patients with coronary heart disease, and even angina pectoris, inducing stroke.

If an alcoholic holds his urine, if he drinks too much and does not urinate in time, coupled with the inhibitory effect of alcohol on nerve reflexes, the bladder will become over-distended and the tragedy of bladder rupture will occur.

The above content is an introduction to why holding urine can lead to cystitis. I hope it can be of some help to you. Cystitis is divided into chronic cystitis and acute cystitis. When treating, we also need to analyze specific problems specifically and treat the disease in a targeted manner to achieve the best treatment effect.
