5 Diseases Caused By Holding Back Your Urine
Going to the bathroom is a physiological necessity , as is drinking water; Obviously, if our body asks us to go to the bathroom, it is because there is a need to dispose of something toxic from the body.
The fact that urine stays in the bladder for a long time can have several consequences:
1.- The dreaded infections
We must never overlook that urine , apart from water, includes each and every one of those waste substances that the body does not need and that the kidneys have been in charge of filtering. Thus, in the bladder we will have a mixture of small remains, acidic substances and ammonia that, little by little, can damage the walls of the urinary tract and the bladder itself.
Nor can we forget that, every time we go to the bathroom, a suppression of each and every one of the bacteria present in the urethra is generated , avoiding what they migrate to other areas where they can cause the dreaded infections. What happens then when, for whatever reasons, we have no antidote to endure the urge to piss?
That these bacteria are longer in our body and, therefore, there are more possibilities that they end up attaching to the bladder or other parts causing the dreaded cystitis. Do not bear the desire! Go to the bathroom!

It is in these measures when receptors are activated that inform our brain that it is time to go to the bathroom. Then the brain activates the sensation of pain and discomfort in order for us to do so, so that we immediately go to empty the bladder.
What happens if we don’t? What happens if we don’t obey our brain? That we are going to remain seated, trying to forget “those desires” and that, as if that were not enough, we will continue taking, eating and the liquid will continue increasing in the walls of the bladder, widening it and causing us different damages. It is a dangerous thing to consider. Read More…
