Urine is a liquid metabolite in the human body that is formed by the kidneys and excreted through the urethra. Urination maintains the water-electrolyte balance in the body and helps the body detoxify.
But in daily life, there are many people due to various factors and urinary holding, if you occasionally hold urine, it will only make people have some discomfort in a short period of time, but often hold urine, it has a relatively great harm to physical health.
What are the dangers of long-term urination to the body?
1. Affect the contractile function of the detrusor muscle of the bladder
After the urine is formed by the kidneys, it enters the bladder for storage, and when it is stored to a certain amount, it is excreted through the urethra. If the phenomenon of urination occurs for a long time, it will cause the bladder to be in a large-volume state for a long time, which will lead to excessive bladder pulling.
As a result, the elasticity of the detrusor muscles of the bladder decreases, the function of the bladder to store urine decreases, and it is very likely that urinary frequency and leakage of urine will occur. And because the contraction of the bladder detrusor muscle becomes very poor, it will make a large amount of urine can not be discharged smoothly, so that people have an inexhaustible situation.
2. Harmful to kidney health
Once the urine is held for a long time, a large amount of urine will not be discharged in time in the body, and it will be excessively accumulated in the body. A large amount of urine will flow back into the kidneys, resulting in significant hydrops in the kidneys, resulting in hydrops in the upper urinary tract.
Kidney function will become worse and worse, and it is easy to have kidney failure. If you hold urine for a long time and have some other bad behavior habits, the probability of developing uremia in the later stage will also increase relatively.
3. Causes water retention in the body
For people who hold urine for a long time, it is easy to have eyelid areas and lower extremity and generalized edema. Due to long-term urination, a large amount of water cannot be excreted smoothly, and it will remain in the body. Too much water can penetrate into the muscle tissue, causing a person to develop edema.
Especially for people who have some internal organ diseases themselves, the probability of edema caused by long-term urination will be particularly high, and even induce the appearance of heart failure.
4. Induce various urinary tract diseases
Whether male or female, long-term urinary holding is easy to suffer from urinary tract diseases. For example, for men, the concentration of urine will increase when holding urine, and it is easy to breed some bacteria.
Bacteria will not only invade the bladder mucosa, but also enter the kidneys, prostate, etc., and the entire urethra will induce a series of inflammations. And due to excessive urination, the urine concentration will increase for a long time, and the probability of a series of urinary tract stones will be particularly high.
For women, if they hold urine excessively, it is easy to induce the appearance of cystitis and urethritis. Inflammation also invades the vaginal area, and the risk of inducing various vaginitis is relatively increased.
All in all, no matter what kind of population, if you hold urine for a long time, it will cause the above 4 very large harms to the body. Therefore, in daily life, no matter what kind of population, after the appearance of urination, we must urinate quickly to ensure our own health.
