Is it bad to hold your urine in your body for a long time?

Question

will your bladder be affected in anyway?

Answer 1

Yeah you can get a bladder infection that if goes untreated then can lead to a kidney infection, I know because it happened to me.. anythime you have to go pee go pee, bacteria love the urine to sit in the bladder your bladder can only hold 500 ml and it will start to back up into your ureters to your kidneys not a good thing.

Answer 2

You can cause excess pressure on your bladder muscles which close off the tubes to your kidneys Our daughter used to hold on until she came home from school because she had a fixation about the school toilets at 10 years she had an operation to move the tubes to a stronger place on the bladder be very careful. Daughter is very well now and has 3 children .A lot of the failed kidneys of older people has been initally caused by this weak bladder.

Answer 3

It's not good for the bladder to hold in your urine when you have to go. There is a reason your body is telling you that your bladder needs to be emptied.

Answer 4

yes i used to hold it in too long and then get really bad cystitis which is not fun! Its like sharp when you pee and your back hurts sometimes and in some cases you pee blood! You can clear it up by anti biotics from the doc or sachet drinks from the chemist but if its really bad or there is any blood go to the doc. You can also get it from not rehydrating yourself it is another womans problem!
Good luck xx
