I have been holding my urine a little frequently recently, and now I feel a little pain in my right kidney.

Yes, these symptoms are all caused by holding the urine. Let me tell you about the harm of holding your urine.

First of all, holding urine affects the normal and regular urination process, making urine stay in the bladder for too long and increasing the chances of bacterial growth and reproduction.

Secondly, because the pressure in the bladder increases when the urine is held, it affects the blood supply and normal physiological function of the bladder mucosa and reduces the mucosal defense ability, so it is prone to infection.

Thirdly, holding urine increases the pressure in the bladder, and bacteria are easy to go to the ureter and cause pyelonephritis.

In addition, frequent urination makes the bladder dilate and stay in a filling state for a long time. Over time, the elasticity of bladder wall decreases, baroreceptors are slow to respond, and the contractility of bladder decreases, which leads to the increase of residual urine in bladder after urination and even urinary retention, which further aggravates urinary tract infection.

Therefore, you should not get into the habit of holding your urine. You should urinate in time when you want to urinate. For those who are engaged in special work, drink as little water as possible before taking up their posts to avoid embarrassing situations during work.
