The human body needs about 1000ml-2000ml of water every day to maintain the normal function of the body. When water enters our body circulation, urine is formed through the metabolism and decomposition function of the kidney.
In the case of good health, urine will be a transparent yellowish liquid with no obvious smell. In our daily life, the frequency and color of urine can be used to judge whether our body is healthy or not.
We can easily find that there are always some people around us. Some people drink water all the time, but don't go to the toilet several times a day. And some people don't drink much water, but they always have to go to the toilet several times a day. The gap between them is not directly proportional to their drinking water.
So, what is the reason for the gap between the two? Does the person who has been urinating after drinking water have kidney problems? Who is healthier than those who always drink water and go to the toilet?
1. What are the factors that affect urine excretion? How does water become urine? When we drink water, water first enters the stomach through the esophagus and is absorbed by the digestive system in the stomach, bringing beneficial substances that can be absorbed by the human body, such as oxygen and hemoglobin, into the blood.
When water enters the blood and flows to the kidneys, the kidneys will automatically filter and produce urine. The original urine is absorbed by the kidney for the second time, producing nutrients and bringing them back to the blood. Then ammonia, salt and other metabolites useless to human function are discharged into renal tubules.
The metabolite containing ammonia and the aqueous solution containing salt are urine. Urine is stored in the renal tubule to a certain amount, which stimulates the bladder to urinate. The brain receives the urination signal and sends instructions to stimulate the bladder to excrete urine.
Regardless of external factors, when our body remains relatively unchanged, the time to drink the same amount of water and excrete it must be the same. So, what factors will affect the urine volume? The following reasons are the most important. We might as well explore.
1. Different sphincter functions
There are many sphincters in human body, such as esophagus, bladder and trachea. And the sphincter function is different in every place. Urine can be excreted in time every day because sphincter function is normal. Nerves in the brain will signal the human body to urinate.
Sphincter is like a faucet switch, which urinates when instructed. When the sphincter function is normal, urine will be formed and excreted smoothly. When our external urethral sphincter function is abnormal. It will lead to its inability to work with the bladder detrusor, resulting in poor urination.
The urethral sphincter is completely closed, and its main function is to cooperate with the detrusor of the bladder during urine storage. The detrusor is relaxed and the sphincter is closed, which can completely complete the bladder urine storage function during the patient's urine storage period. Bladder usually stores urine produced by human body.
When urinating, the patient's sphincter will be fully relaxed and the detrusor will be fully contracted. This can excrete urine smoothly. If the sphincter of our body is dysfunctional, and the sphincter cannot be completely closed during urine storage, patients will leak urine.
When urinating, the detrusor cannot be completely opened, which will lead to poor urination of patients. If the dysfunction of urethral sphincter is confirmed, it can be treated with drugs such as α receptor blockers.
Urine can not be discharged normally, and urinary system diseases may occur. Therefore, sphincter function is also a reason that affects urine output.
2. Bladder size is different
Bladder is a urine storage organ. The adult bladder is located in front of the small pelvis, and the pubic symphysis is in front. The bladder has some contractility. Under the condition of the same amount, the average urine storage capacity of each person's bladder is 300-500mL.
When the urine storage capacity of the bladder exceeds 500 ml, people will have the urge to urinate because of the excessive pressure on the bladder wall. The urine storage capacity of bladder varies with sex and age. Neonatal bladder capacity is the smallest, followed by female bladder capacity is smaller than male.
In general, 1 hour after drinking water is the peak period of urination. There are many organs near the bladder, such as ureter, appendix and pelvic cavity. If these organs are damaged, it will also stimulate the bladder, affect the urine volume of the bladder, and lead to abnormal urination. So the size of the bladder affects the number of urination.
People with large bladders store a lot of urine. When the urine accumulates to a certain amount, it will stimulate the bladder and make them want to urinate when they feel bloated. But some people have a small bladder and can't hold their urine, so they will increase the number of urination.
3. Different drinking habits
The speed and quantity of drinking water is also an important factor affecting urine volume. Urine is mostly composed of water, so the amount of water you drink every day also determines the amount of urine. Moreover, many people seldom drink water in their lives, but they often pee. This is because the kidney can also control the water excretion of the human body.
Under normal circumstances, when drinking water, the water flow is too fast, which may lead to a continuous increase in body fluid volume. When the osmotic pressure in the human body decreases, the amount of water discharged will increase. This leads to the situation of drinking little water but always going to the toilet.
4. Different urination habits
Some people are used to urinating after drinking water, while others are used to holding their urine and urinating only when they feel strong. Over time, different urination habits have been formed. Different urination habits lead to different urination frequencies.
5. Different psychological factors
I believe that many people want to pee in their daily lives, such as at some critical moments. This is because there is an immune system and a neuroendocrine system-endocrine network between our central nervous system and gastrointestinal nervous system.
Under the influence of negative emotions such as increased pressure, excessive tension and anxiety, endocrine will change, which will further affect the gastrointestinal nervous system and stimulate the frequency of urination to change.
Second, how to maintain the kidneys and urinate normally. Pay attention to your diet.
Now people's biggest dietary problem is actually high-salt and high-fat food. We should try to eat lightly and healthily in our daily life. The following points should be noted:
Develop good eating habits. Chewing slowly when eating is good for digestion. Three meals a day should be regularly quantified, and it is best to be full at seven points. Food should be eaten as soon as possible once it is cooked. Don't think that it will be wasted if you can't finish eating.
As we all know, it is dangerous to eat cooked food stored at room temperature for 45 hours. Some green leafy vegetables must not be eaten overnight. Food left for more than 4 hours breeds tens of thousands of bacteria and eats many diseases. Be sure to quantify when cooking.
Keep the kitchen clean. Cooking utensils, tableware, etc. It should be cleaned with a clean cloth. The cloth used to wipe tableware should not exceed 1 day, and it should be disinfected in boiling water after use. Bowls and chopsticks should be washed and dried with tap water.
At the same time, pay attention to the cleanliness of the kitchen environment to avoid insects, plagues and other species carrying germs. In principle, we should eat more foods rich in vitamins, high protein, low salt and low fat. Eat moderately and pay attention to food safety. It is suggested to refer to China Residents' Dietary Pagoda.
Control your desires
French writer Hugo said that the secret of keeping healthy is to control diet, sleep and love properly. Temperance is the order and control of happiness and desire. Excessive desire will damage the health of the kidney, because it will lead to thinning of the kidney. If you want to protect your kidneys, you should pay attention to moderation.
3. Pay attention to emotional adjustment
People born and raised in social environment are always stimulated by external objective things and produce various emotional reactions. Bad emotional activities are often extremely harmful to health. If you don't pay attention to regulating your emotions, you will fall into panic for no reason.
When we have bad negative emotions due to our own or external reasons, we must adjust ourselves. Usually, you can choose to change the environment or participate in some outdoor sports activities. Sort out the causes of your depression in a gentle way and make your mental outlook look brand-new.
As the saying goes, "thinking hurts the spleen, but fear hurts the kidney." If you don't pay attention to regulating your emotions, you will fall into long-term fear and damage the health of your kidneys. Therefore, we must maintain a stable, healthy and relaxed mood, which is conducive to the health of the kidneys.
4. Massage acupoints
Meridians are all over the human body, and many painful or uncomfortable parts of the human body are often acupoints. Self-massage through acupoints can play a role in treating diseases and preventing diseases. The daily method of self-acupoint massage is mainly one point, namely, pressing, kneading, pushing and pinching.
Under normal circumstances, the kidney meridian of foot-shaoyin belongs to the kidney, so you can find some suitable acupoint massage on the kidney meridian of hand-foot-shaoyin, which is helpful to regulate the kidney. There are many acupoints for tonifying kidney, and well-known acupoints such as Yongquan, Taixi, Zhao Hai, Dazhong, Yongquan and Yingu can all play the role of tonifying kidney.
There is an acupuncture point on the instep of a person, which is medically called Yongquan point, corresponding to the kidney. At the same time, note that Shenshu point on the back is located at the lower side of the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra, which is 1.5 inch. Pressing this acupoint can also play the role of tonifying kidney, strengthening spleen and dredging meridians.
Acupoints on Du Meridian and Mingmen; Points below the four spines of the waist, Waiyangguan; Guanyuan, Qihai and other acupoints on the anterior midline have the function of tonifying kidney. You can often massage Yongquan point or soak your feet with traditional Chinese medicine to promote metabolism, accelerate the improvement of blood circulation and maintain your kidneys in time.
5.？ Take medicine properly.
The effects of different drugs are very different. Even drugs that treat the same disease will take different ways and doses because of the different shapes of drugs or granules. In our daily life, many people have mild physical discomfort symptoms and are used to buying their own medicine.
Once some people get sick, they don't choose to go to the hospital for treatment, but go to the pharmacy to buy medicine for their own treatment. As the saying goes, "drugs are three points poisonous." Drug abuse will make the body ingest trace toxins for a long time, increase the detoxification burden of the kidney and affect the healthy operation of the kidney.
Summary: To sum up, people who urinate all the time after drinking water and people who don't go to the toilet for half a day will urinate differently according to different situations. If you are obviously unwell, please be sure to seek medical advice in time. Don't be afraid of illness and doctors. But please don't worry too much under normal circumstances.
If you have short-term polyuria, the kidney is not good due to oliguria, acute renal function injury, diabetes, diabetes insipidus, etc. We must attach great importance to it. Once again, I urge you to adjust your health in time, take effective self-cultivation measures and recover as soon as possible.
The human body can't help but not pee for a day. Impurities such as water, salt and sodium that are drunk into the body every day will be filtered into the urine through the kidneys. Imagine how uncomfortable it would be if urine was stored in the bladder and could not be excreted.
Here, I want to remind everyone that we must take good care of our kidneys, maintain the healthy state of kidneys from all aspects of life, and reduce the burden on the urinary system. Wish you good health.
