What if you endure TOO long without urinating?

It has happened to all of us with certainty.Suddenly you feel that you have to go to the bathroom and you are in the middle of a conference, or in the subway, or on a bus...you cannot simply go and “let off steam”. Have you ever wondered what could happen to you?

What if you endure TOO long time without urinating?

The bladder is the muscle-membranous organ where urine is stored and expelled.The normal capacity of the bladder, when we desire to urinate, fluctuates between 250 and 300 cm3, and can increase from 2 to 3 liters in cases where that we retain the liquid for a long time, in those cases in which we find it impossible to go to the bathroom.

Of course, if one day you spend two hours wanting to urinate, not much happens, at least not immediately.The normal, the logical and the healthy thing is that when “nature indicates”, you pay attention as quickly as possible.

What if you endure TOO long without urinating?

If you are one of those who drink a lot of water, you know what it means to be in the street and be assaulted by a full bladder.Since we learn to control the sphincters we learn to ignore, on many occasions, the needs of our body.

But spending a lot of time without urinating brings consequences, some quite serious.One of them is that the bladder becomes a breeding ground for many bacteria, and these can cause infections that would pass into the kidneys, generating greater damage to the body.

Dr.Mark Gordon, a urologist at the Suncoast Medical Clinic in St.Petersburg, Florida, points out that women are more likely to endure the urge to urinate , mainly due to their concern about the lack of hygiene in public bathrooms.Men, on the other hand, do not care in the same way, and many can urinate practically anywhere if they can no longer stand...

What if you endure TOO long without urinating?

Urinating 8 to 10 times a day would be normal, according to the same doctor.Depending, of course, on the amount of water you drink.

Less bad is that you pee on, which can happen if you have really endured too long without going to the bathroom.Simply, the bladder is distended and can not hold the liquid anymore.It is very rare to “explode” , and will not happen unless you have gone through major abdominal surgery, have undergone radiation or have your bladder replaced with one made with intestinal tissue.

However, not urinating on time can cause , in the long term, various ailments:

Urinary tract infection
Interstitial cystitis
Renal impairment or
Kidney stones.

It is best to listen to the body and, whenever possible, pay attention to it.The physiological needs do not know of social conventions or protocols, and our body usually charges us the forgetfulness that sometimes we submit it.C help yourself and urinate as many times as you can, and so that you know if you are well, check the colors of a healthy urine.Also check if it is safe to drink it.
