1. The dangers of holding in urine

Holding in urine can lead to genital inflammation

The storage space of the bladder is limited. This has happened in the past because of holding in urine for too long. , leading to cases of bladder bursting. For older men, urinary retention is likely to occur if they often hold back their urine. When they want to urinate, they are unable to urinate. Young men may experience prostate congestion, leading to prostatitis. For women, because their urethras are relatively short, if the urine stays for a long time, In the bladder, bacteria can multiply and a urinary tract infection can occur.

Holding in stool can cause colon cancer

Although holding in stool does not cause sudden accidents like holding in urine, retaining stool in the intestine for too long will increase the reabsorption of toxins. May lead to colon cancer. Moreover, this artificially caused irregular bowel movement can cause people to suffer from constipation. Clinically, it is found that most patients with colon cancer have constipation.

Having the habit of holding in your farts can easily lead to bloating

Few people would think that holding in your farts can be bad for your health. These gases that need to be discharged contain harmful substances. If they are not discharged and stay in the intestines, they will be reabsorbed by the intestinal mucosa. The most direct feeling is abdominal distension.

Confining semen may cause loss of sexual function

No matter how busy you are at work, you should take time to relax. Irregular couple life will lead to endocrine disorders and even a decrease in sexual function. According to traditional Chinese medicine, "full of semen will overflow." If the semen stays in the seminal vesicle for a long time and cannot be discharged, the vitality of the sperm will be weakened and the ability to produce sperm will gradually decrease.

Many women cannot go to the toilet in time for various reasons, and they always hold it in when they feel the need to urinate. In fact, holding back urine is very harmful to the body of women.

Ms. Zhao, 29, has been married for nearly six years and has been unable to have children. I went to the hospital for a checkup and was told it was endometriosis. Doctors analyzed that the root cause of this situation is holding in urine for a long time. Because Ms. Zhao is a cashier in a shopping mall, the shopping mall's system and the long queues of customers eager to pay make it impossible for her to go to the restroom at any time, and she has to hold back when she feels the urge to urinate.

For women, holding in urine for a long time can lead to infertility

Many people have had the experience of holding in urine, some because they are too busy at work, and some because they cannot leave to play cards or games. You are willing to leave the "battlefield", but not urinating in time when you have the "intention to urinate" is very detrimental to your health. In fact, normal urination can not only discharge metabolites from the body, but also have a self-purifying effect on the urinary system.

Because the female internal reproductive organs and the bladder "cohabit" in the pelvic cavity, the relationship is "close", and the uterus is located behind the bladder. Holding back urine will fill the bladder, and the full bladder will press on the uterus and tilt the uterus backward.

If you often hold in your urine, the uterus will be tilted backward and it will be difficult to reset. When the bladder severely compresses the uterus, it will hinder the flow of menstrual blood and lead to severe dysmenorrhea symptoms. If the compressed uterine body "squeezes" the nerve plexus in front of the sacrum, it can cause lumbosacral pain, and in severe cases, infertility.

Regularly holding in urine can easily lead to urinary incontinence

Unlike men, women have two internal and external sphincters. They only rely on a single sphincter to hold in urine. Therefore, if you hold in urine for a long time, the sphincter will become damaged. It can cause fatigue and weakness, leading to urinary incontinence.

2. Effects of holding back urine

Many men have had this experience: when the bladder is slightly distended and there is a slight urge to urinate, sexual excitement will be increased and the sexual excitement will be maintained during intercourse. Good erectile function. The reason for this phenomenon is related to neural regulation and reflexes.

Dintin erection is mainly controlled by the parasympathetic nerve, while ejaculation is controlled by the sympathetic nerve. The two nervous systems will inhibit each other and wax and wane with each other. Holding back an appropriate amount of urine will reflect the urination to the neural arc, continuously stimulate the urination center, and increase the excitability of the parasympathetic nerves that control erection. As a result, erectile function can be enhanced and maintained.

Therefore, for those whose penis erection is not strong or lasting, holding back urine properly before intercourse may have better results.

Holding urine here refers to retaining an appropriate amount of urine, preferably with a slight urge to urinate. If a large amount of urine accumulates in the bladder, it will strongly stimulate the urination center and overexcite the sympathetic nerves that inhibit urination, thereby interfering with erection and accelerating ejaculation. At this time, if you try your best to suppress the urge to urinate and speed up the movements in the same room, the semen can still be discharged, but it will affect the sexual pleasure during ejaculation.
