What do health experts say?
Dr. Bopanna Venkata B, a urologist at Narayana Health, explains that holding urine for a long time can have negative effects on many organs of our body. This may cause the following problems:
These 5 problems can occur due to stopping urine:
bladder weakness
Holding urine for a long time puts pressure on the bladder muscles. This can weaken the bladder and make it difficult to control urination in the future.
effect on kidneys
If you repeatedly hold back urination, it can cause excessive pressure on the kidneys, which can affect kidney function. As a result, the risk of kidney stones may also increase.
Stomach and bladder infections
Preventing urination can cause bacteria to grow in the urine filled in the bladder, which can lead to stomach and bladder infections.
gastro problems
Holding urine for a long time creates pressure in the stomach, which can lead to stomach related problems like gas and acidity.
UTI
Holding back urination can cause bacteria to grow in the bladder, which can lead to an infection in the urinary area, called a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). However, there can be many reasons for UTI, such as dehydration and lack of hygiene.
What to do?
Whenever you feel the urge to urinate, urinate immediately instead of postponing it.
If you urinate 6-8 times a day, this is normal.
Drink enough water and do not let the bladder fill up.
By adopting such small habits, you can avoid serious problems related to urine and improve your health.
