Why can't girls hold their urine?

Some girls often have difficulty holding their urine. In theory, people should not hold urine if they have to, and should go to the toilet as soon as possible. Holding urine for a long time is bad for the body. If a girl can't hold her urine, it may be because her bladder is not big enough. If a girl can't hold her urine, she should try not to hold it. Let's take a look at the specific reasons why girls can't hold their urine.

1. Reasons why women can’t hold their urine

1. It is related to the pressure in life, one’s age, and the environment one is in. However, many women don’t know what is going on and are troubled by it all day long. Urge urinary incontinence refers to the sudden urge to urinate, and the feeling is very strong, as if you can't hold it in any longer. Often when this happens, you don't have time to go to the toilet and your pants are wet. The most common cause is a urinary tract infection.

2. Stress and urge urinary incontinence usually exist simultaneously in women, which is often called mixed urinary incontinence. The main reasons include that the female urethra is shorter than the male urethra, only 3-5cm on average; the pelvis is wide and the muscle support is weak; the urethral sphincter is relaxed; pregnancy and childbirth cause damage to the pelvic floor muscles; the estrogen level of women decreases after middle age and the urethral mucosa atrophies; surgery causes anatomical changes to the pelvis, etc.

3. Mental factors. Due to work stress, high pressure, anxiety or neurotic bladder, the bladder muscles react allergicly and cannot inhibit bladder contraction, causing urinary incontinence.

4. Production damage. Multiple births, urethral prolapse, uterine prolapse, etc. This is because during childbirth, the pelvic muscles are damaged to varying degrees, and the ability to support some organs in the pelvic cavity is reduced, which can also lead to stress urinary incontinence. Clinically, it is found that the incidence of urinary incontinence in vaginal deliveries is higher than that in cesarean sections.

5. After menopause, women's estrogen levels decrease, causing the urethral mucosa to become thinner and its tension to decrease.

6. As you get older, abdominal fat accumulates and increased abdominal pressure creates greater pressure on the bladder.

2. Precautions for female urinary incontinence

1. Urinate according to a schedule every day, with an interval of 3 to 4 hours between each urination, regardless of whether you need to urinate at this time.

2. If you are taking medication, contact your doctor as soon as possible and ask which of the prescription and over-the-counter medications you are taking may cause urinary incontinence.

3. Reduce or avoid caffeinated beverages (such as coffee, tea, and some carbonated drinks). Avoid excessive drinking.

4. When exercising, place a small cotton ball in the urethra to apply some pressure to the urethra to temporarily slow down or stop urine leakage.

5. Strengthen your pelvic muscles through pelvic floor exercises every day, which requires a regular exercise plan.

6. If you are overweight, you can lose weight. Remember that effective weight loss is achieved through a combination of diet and exercise.

7. Add a small amount of wheat bran (4.7g) to your daily food or eat more fruits, vegetables, grains with skins, beans, etc.
