Holding urine is something that I believe everyone has experienced. Or in a warm quilt, or in a serious meeting, or on a long highway, or in an overcrowded public toilet, ......Although everyone's reasons for holding urine are different, the psychological activity when holding urine is basically the same: no matter how uncomfortable the feeling of being about to come out but can only endure it, you must clamp your legs and force yourself to endure it again and again. As everyone knows, every time you hold urine, you are "burying thunder" in your body!
The Seven Sins of Holding Urine
As one of the waste products produced by the human body, urine contains a variety of metabolically produced toxins. Holding urine for a long time will not only cause all kinds of troubles, but also the following hazards, which are serious and even life-threatening.
Causes urinary retention
Holding urine for a long time will cause the bladder to continue to expand passively, the muscle fibers will be pulled apart, and the elastic contraction force of the bladder detrusor muscle will be weakened. It occurs when the bladder loses its elasticity and is unable to provide adequate motivation to urinateA large amount of urine is trapped in the bladder for a long time, and chronic inflammation gradually develops, resulting in difficulty or even inability to urinate.
Causes bladder rupture
The bladder becomes distended and the bladder wall becomes thinner due to excessive holding of urine. If an external force occurs, such as a fall or an impact on the lower abdomen, the bladder may rupture. In this case, immediate emergency surgery is requiredOnce urine enters the abdominal cavity, it is easy to cause abdominal infection, and even fatal danger.
Affects kidney function
For some patients with bladderureteral sphincter dysplasia or their own hidden dangers, if they hold urine for a long time, it will lead to an increase in intravesical pressure for a long timeUrine can flow upstream, causing hydronephrosis, affecting kidney function and even uremia.
Induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
For patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease, long-term urine holding and emotional agitation can easily cause sympathetic nerve excitation, resulting in increased blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and increased myocardial oxygen consumptionIt may induce myocardial infarction, rupture and hemorrhage of cerebral blood vessels, and may also cause sudden death.
Menstrual cramps, low back pain
The uterus is located behind the bladder, and when the bladder becomes full due to holding urine, it compresses the uterus and causes the uterus to slope backwards. If you hold urine for a long time, it will be difficult for the uterus to reset, and it will also hinder the flow of menstrual bloodIt can lead to menstrual cramps, low back pain, and even infertility in severe cases.
Triggers prostate disease
Holding urine for a long time can also cause the prostate gland to shrink, affecting the blood circulation of the prostate, causing chronic congestion and edema. When the urethral pressure is too high during urination, the urine can also reflux into the prostatic glandular duct, aggravating the accumulation of prostatic fluid, causing prostatitis, ** blood sperm, etc.
Formation of urinary tract stones
Holding urine for a long time will cause a large amount of urine to be stored in the bladder, and the precipitation will be concentrated, increasing the saturation of calcium salts in the urine, thereby accelerating the formation of urinary tract stones. Sometimes, these are not jokes, but descriptions of real events - "The man held his urine after drinking and his bladder burst and died of heavy bleeding", "The driver was found to be in the late stage of uremia after holding urine all year round", "The old man held his urine for too long on the long-distance bus and died suddenly......".These real cases that happened around us have sounded the alarm for everyone: don't hold back your urine if you have it!
