What are the dangers of women holding urine frequently?

Many female friends often have to hold urine for a long time due to various reasons. In fact, holding urine can cause a lot of harm to women's bodies, such as urinary tract infections, urinary system stones, etc. In addition, if women hold their urine for a long time, it is likely to cause dysmenorrhea. Below, the editor will introduce some of the harms that often happen to female friends who hold their urine.

Holding urine is more harmful to women than men

When the weather is hot, people will urinate more frequently after drinking a lot of water, but many women who work in offices often hold back the urge to urinate due to work and wait a long time before going to the toilet. Experts point out that urine is the end product of metabolism produced and excreted by the kidneys. Some substances in urine are toxic to the human body, and holding urine is more harmful to women than men.

Experts point out that holding urine is the most harmful to the bladder. The toxins in the urine can stimulate the bladder wall for a long time and cause bladder cancer. Urine accumulation will also increase the burden on the kidneys and easily induce kidney disease.

Women who often hold their urine may become infertile

Due to the complex structure of organs in the abdominal cavity, women's urinary system is more susceptible to bacterial invasion than men's. Holding urine will not only affect bladder function and cause urinary tract infection, but also cause symptoms such as frequent urination, hematuria, difficulty urinating, burning urine, lower abdominal discomfort or pain. At the same time, if women hold their urine, it will have many adverse effects on their reproductive organs.

Because the female internal reproductive organs and the bladder "live together" in the pelvic cavity, the uterus is located behind the bladder. Holding urine fills the bladder, and the full bladder presses on the uterus, causing it to tilt backward. If you often hold your urine, the retroverted uterus will be difficult to reposition. The retroverted uterus is divided into three degrees. If the bladder presses on the uterus and the retroversion is second degree, it will hinder the outflow of menstrual blood and cause severe dysmenorrhea symptoms. If the third degree of retroversion occurs, it will also cause lumbar pain due to the compression of the nerve plexus in front of the sacrum by the uterine body, and may cause pain during sexual intercourse. In severe cases, it will cause infertility. Therefore, holding urine is a very bad habit. If you feel the urge to urinate, you must urinate in time and do not hold it back. Women should pay special attention to this.

Experts remind women that it is best to urinate once before going out; whether it is during work, study or meeting, try to choose a "half-time" time to allow yourself to "go to the bathroom"; after holding urine for a period of time, in addition to emptying the bladder as soon as possible, the best way is to replenish a lot of water and force yourself to urinate more often, which has a flushing effect on the bladder and can prevent the growth of bacteria in the bladder.

Therefore, as female friends, you should develop good living habits in your daily life. When you feel the urge to urinate, try to urinate in time. You should also pay attention to the hygiene of your private parts and wash them frequently with clean water to avoid urinary tract infections or certain gynecological diseases caused by bacterial growth and viral infections in the private parts.
