I believe that many people have had the experience of holding urine. Sometimes they may not want to go to the toilet because they get up late in the morning; Sometimes there may be no time to go to the toilet because of busy work; Sometimes I can't find the toilet for a while because I go shopping; Some may also be playing games that are not convenient, and so on. Male friends may feel that holding urine will not harm their health, but this seemingly small bad habit will actually cause you big trouble. Now let's count the possible harm of holding urine.
Holding urine causes prostatitis. Holding urine is one of the inducements of prostatitis. Under the low temperature environment, the excitability of the sympathetic nerve of the prostate will be significantly enhanced, causing the contraction of the prostate gland, causing chronic hyperemia, and increasing the pressure in the urethra. The change of urethral condition will aggravate the accumulation of prostatic fluid, lead to the attack of prostate disease, and make patients have frequent urination, urgency, nocturnal urination, urination pain, perineal and testicular pain and other symptoms. Especially for many elderly patients, the disease will worsen or recur as the temperature decreases.
2. Holding urine causes cystitis. Urine affects the normal regular urination function, makes urine stay in the bladder for too long, and increases the chance of bacterial growth and reproduction. Secondly, due to suffocation, the pressure in the bladder is increased, which makes the bacteria easy to rise along the ureter and cause pyelonephritis. Frequent urination makes the bladder dilate and remain full for a long time. As time goes by, the elasticity of the bladder wall decreases, the pressure receptors become sluggish, and the bladder contractility decreases, so that the residual urine in the bladder increases after urination, and even urine retention occurs: because the number of urinations decreases, the water in the urine trapped in the bladder is absorbed again, and the urine is concentrated, and the metabolic waste cannot be discharged out of the body in time, so it is easy to cause cystitis.
3. Holding urine causes urethritis. In medicine, holding urine is mandatory retention of urine. Holding urine for a long time will make the urine in the bladder accumulate more and more, and the urine containing bacteria and toxic substances can not be discharged in time. At the same time, holding urine will lead to bladder swelling, bladder wall blood vessels are compressed, bladder mucosa ischemia, and the resistance is reduced. Therefore, bacteria will take advantage of the opportunity to enter and multiply freely, which is easy to cause cystitis urethritis.
4. Holding urine causes male infertility. Male genital erection and urination are controlled by the same group of nerves. When people hold urine for a long time, this group of nerves will bear too much pressure. Once this group of nerves is disordered, it will not only be the problems of painful urination and dysuria, but also cause male sexual dysfunction, such as impotence, which will affect fertility.
5. Holding urine will increase the possibility of inducing bladder cancer. Foreign research data show that the frequency of urination is closely related to the incidence rate of bladder cancer. The fewer times of urination, the greater the risk of bladder cancer, because suffocation increases the time of action of carcinogens in urine on the bladder. The research report of American scientists shows that people who have the habit of holding their urine are 3-5 times more likely to suffer from bladder cancer in the future.
6. Holding urine can also cause "heart" disease. Holding urine can cause physiological and psychological tension, increase blood pressure in patients with hypertension, and angina pectoris and arrhythmia in patients with coronary heart disease. This is no different from adding fuel to the fire for the elderly people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
