Holding back urine can cause infertility.

Holding back urination while busy, watching an exciting football match, or in a meeting can be very harmful to your health.



Women who hold their urine for too long may experience infertility.

The female reproductive organs and bladder live in the pelvis, with the uterus located behind the bladder in close proximity. Holding in urine causes the bladder to become overloaded and distended, compressing the uterus and causing it to tilt backward.

If you frequently hold your urine, the uterus can tilt backward, making it difficult to return to its original position. When the bladder compresses the uterus excessively, it can also press on the nerves in front of the sacrum, causing pain in the sacrum, and in severe cases, infertility.

Holding back urine causes urinary incontinence.

Unlike men, who have two sphincter muscles made of striated muscle, women only have one sphincter muscle. Therefore, if urine is held in for a long time, the sphincter muscle will become fatigued and weakened, leading to urinary incontinence; over time, this causes aging and increases the risk of urinary tract infections.

Furthermore, due to the complex structure of the female bladder, the urinary system is more susceptible to bacterial infection than in men. Holding back urine not only affects bladder function and causes urinary tract infections, but also leads to frequent urination, blood in the urine, difficulty urinating, painful urination, and lower abdominal discomfort, etc.

On a daily basis, pay attention to drinking plenty of water and urinating frequently.

Experts particularly advise women not to wait until they are thirsty to drink water, especially those who exercise frequently.

It's important to eat a bland, light diet with minimal oil and fat. If you eat too much oily or salty food, you should drink more water than usual. In cold weather, drink warm water; drink two glasses of water before bed and after waking up. Drinking water in cold weather helps to flush out urine promptly, preventing bacterial growth in the urinary tract.
