Have a habit of urinating while bathing? Leave it today itself, otherwise urine will come out as soon as you hear the sound of water. – ..
News India Live, Digital Desk: Tell me the truth… When you go to the bathroom to take a bath and cold water falls from above, do you also like to urinate while standing there? Don’t smile, because according to a survey, about 60-70% of the people in the world do this. Some people do this out of laziness, while others call it ‘water saving’.
This may sound very common and trivial, but the opinion of health experts and doctors is completely different from this. If you are also a victim of this habit, then you must read this article because this small habit of yours can create problems for your bladder in future.
Let us understand in simple language why experts refuse to pass urine while bathing.
1. Wrong training of brain (Brain Association)
This is the biggest scientific reason for this. Doctors say that when we urinate continuously while listening to the sound of running water of the shower, a psychological connection is formed in our brain.
- What will be the loss? Gradually your brain will get into the habit that “sound of water = toilet time”. The result will be that whenever you hear the sound of water flowing anywhere in the future (like while washing utensils, hands or in the rain), you will immediately start feeling the pressure of urine. This is called ‘Urinary Incontinence’, where your control over your bladder becomes weak.
2. Bladder does not empty completely
Especially for women, urinating while standing is not considered correct according to their anatomy.
- When you sit on the toilet seat, your pelvic floor muscles completely relax and the bladder empties completely easily.
- But when you’re standing in the shower, these muscles remain under tension. Due to this, the bladder does not empty completely, which can cause urine infection (UTI) or kidney problems in the long run.
3. Hygiene and risk of infection
Even if you think the water will wash everything away, the reality is that urine splatters may remain on your feet or the bathroom floor. If you have a small wound on your feet, bacteria can cause infection there. Apart from this, if you use a common bathroom, it is also a threat to the health of others.
