Why can’t women hold their urine?

In life, there are many women who are often troubled by not being able to hold their urine. However, some women may not be able to hold their urine because they have not developed the habit of regular urination. It may be that women do not pay attention to personal hygiene in normal times, which leads to some vaginal diseases. So what is the reason why women can't hold their urine?

The most common urinary incontinence in women includes stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence and mixed stress urge urinary incontinence. Stress urinary incontinence, also known as tension urinary incontinence, refers to the uncontrolled and involuntary flow of urine when abdominal pressure suddenly increases due to coughing, sneezing, laughing, standing up, etc. This is the most common type of urinary incontinence among women. Women of all ages can be affected, especially those who have given birth to children with a history of difficult labor or who suffer from uterine prolapse, bladder and urethral prolapse. After menopause, women lack estrogen, which causes the urethra to become thinner, reducing the resistance through the urethra and making urinary incontinence more common.

Urge urinary incontinence refers to the sudden urge to urinate, and the feeling is very strong, as if you can't hold your urine anymore. 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.

Stress and urge incontinence often occur together in women, which is often called mixed incontinence. The main reasons include that the female urethra is shorter than the male urethra, only 3-5 cm 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.

The main reasons why women have trouble holding urine are due to some diseases or due to high pressure in life. I hope that after the editor’s detailed introduction, female friends who have trouble holding urine need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately, so as not to miss the best time for treatment and affect women’s normal health.
