Bacteria can seize the opportunity to enter and proliferate in an uncontrolled manner, not only easily causing urinary system diseases such as cystitis and urethritis, but also affecting kidney function in severe cases.

Therefore, holding urine is a very bad habit, and people should develop the habit of urinating regularly.
For those who have the habit of holding their urine, they usually have the habit of drinking more hot water. Before going out, they should drain their urine thoroughly. People with good urination habits need to urinate promptly to be healthy.
