Many people have the habit of holding back urine, always think that hold back for a while does not do any harm to the body, therefore, not particularly concerned about holding back urine. As the saying goes, “flowing water does not rot, the household pivot does not mole cricket”, flowing water will not stink, often turn the door axis will not be moth-eaten! Our urinary system is the same, there is “water” when the row you do not row, the urinary system later “revenge”, do not complain of suffering! The main damage of holding urine: urinary tract infection, urinary stones, kidney damage. Normal urine production and discharge process is: urine from the kidneys after the production, through the ureter, gathered in the bladder, and then discharged from the urethra. Because holding back urine interferes with the normal process of urination, the urine gets trapped in the bladder. Bacteria in our urethra see the opportunity to take advantage of, they seize the opportunity to carry out rapid and massive reproduction – can cause “acute urethritis”, “acute cystitis” these urinary tract infections. If the human body resistance is a little weak, or itself has some deformities of the urinary system, bacteria are more likely to flow upward, causing more serious urinary tract infections — pyelonephritis, kidney function will also be threatened. In addition to causing urinary tract infections and injuring the kidneys, holding urine can also induce the formation and recurrence of urinary stones, giving the kidneys another shot in the arm. This is not alarmist, many clinicians have this experience, many patients with urinary tract infections, stones, often have this bad habit – always like to hold urine, but also do not like to drink water. Unspeakable distress caused by holding urine: “Laughing, peeing” In addition to the situation described above, holding urine can also cause some embarrassing symptoms. Due to always hold not on, the urine storage bladder up, as if repeatedly blowing, blowing over the head of the balloon, the old so tossed, the bladder muscles will slowly become flaccid and weak. When the elasticity of the bladder muscle is poor, when the contraction and contraction become not so easy, our most intuitive feeling is: easy incontinence, frequent urination, a little a laugh, “laugh, urine”, really will be very embarrassed. Not only embarrassing symptoms, bladder muscle elasticity deterioration of another consequence is that the urine can flow back up, resulting in hydronephrosis, kidney function and then “shot”. When the patient himself has prostate hyperplasia or urethral stricture and other conditions, but also often hold urine, will add to the problem, inducing urinary retention, and when you want to urinate, can not urinate on their own, and then you need to turn to the surgeon for treatment. Therefore, want to have good urinary function: have urine, do not hold! Especially for patients who already have urinary stones, urinary tract infections, high uric acid, gout, the doctor will always advise the words: drink water regularly, urinate more often, have urine, do not hold it!
