Except Yun-peng Yue, drivers and friends all have the experience of holding their urine, especially when there is traffic jam in the middle of the road. It is really suffocating to pee for a while.
During the Lantern Festival, the peak of Spring Festival travel rush's return journey continues. High-speed congestion, waiting for a few hours, has become a problem.
In fact, not only in this extraordinary period of Spring Festival travel rush peak, but also in our daily life, we often choose to hold our urine actively or passively.
Halfway through the movie, I want to go to the bathroom, and the plot is just a critical moment. Forget it, hold it for a while!
The meeting lasted for three hours, and the leader spoke with great interest. Be patient, it will be over soon!
Concentrate on the work at hand, take a piss, forget it, and finish this plan before you go!
In the morning, the bladder is full, it is too cold outside and the bed is too warm. I won't think about it, forget it, I can bear it for a while!
Playing mahjong is for fun, but you can't go to the toilet at this time, it will wash away your good luck! Hang in there, this one will win!
And this kind of patience will actually do great harm to our health.
There is a limit to holding your urine.
Urine is the product of kidney metabolism, which contains uric acid, urea and other metabolic wastes and various toxic substances produced by human metabolism.
Simply put, there are two thin ureters on the left and right sides of our bladder, which discharge urine produced by the kidneys into the bladder and then out of the body through the urethra below.
The main components of urine are water, inorganic salts, urea uric acid and so on. Urinating is the main function of human metabolism and detoxification.
Our bladder is like a big water sac, but its capacity varies from person to person. Generally speaking, when the urine volume in the bladder is 400~500ml, the idea of wanting to pee will occur, but it is not strong.
When the urine volume accumulates to 700ml, the urinary muscles will contract rhythmically and the urine will become thicker, but it is still within the tolerable range.
Over 700ml, even if the bladder is overloaded, it is close to the limit of holding urine.
It is said that Tycho, an astronomer in the16th century, died of bladder explosion caused by holding urine. There are also many news about bladder explosion after holding urine on the Internet.
So, do people hold their urine until their bladder explodes?
When we were children, we all did this math problem. A swimming pool is full of water and asks when it will be full. Our bladder is also a water sac, which goes in at one end and comes out at the other. When we artificially control its entry and exit, there will theoretically be an explosion limit.
However, the human body structure is infinitely exquisite, and urine enters the bladder without human control. But the urethral sphincter at the end of the water is unusual.
There are people up there, directly under the leadership of the brain. The brain will decide whether to open the door according to the bladder and the outside world.
When you force yourself not to urinate with your mind, your clever brain will turn your urination into more unbearable pain.
Finally, you can't stand this feeling, the thread of reason breaks, the sphincter is released and the gate is opened. Running thousands of miles. So-called, urinary incontinence, or wetting your pants.
Most of those cases of bladder explosion are not caused by simply holding urine, but are often related to some urinary system problems or external shocks.
Therefore, the bladder will not explode because of holding the urine, and the final result of holding the urine will only make you incontinent.
People who hold their urine for a long time are prone to cancer.
Occasionally urinating may not feel anything, because it is rare to suppress yourself to urinary incontinence, but if you habitually pee for a long time, the harm will not be so easy to solve.
Studies have shown that people who have the habit of holding their urine are 3-5 times more likely to develop bladder cancer than ordinary people.
Modern people love to talk about detoxification, and the most important way for human detoxification is urination. The frequency of urination is closely related to the incidence of bladder cancer. The less times you urinate, the greater the risk of bladder cancer.
Because holding urine increases the action time of carcinogens in urine on bladder. Generally speaking, healthy people should drink 2000 ml of water a day, and people with stones should keep it at 2500-3000 ml a day to ensure effective bladder irrigation.
In a big way, holding urine will increase the incidence of bladder cancer. To a small extent, holding urine for a long time will affect the contraction of the bladder and lead to the disorder of bladder receptors. When the water is discharged, it can't be discharged, and the gate can't be closed tightly when the water is not discharged.
Some people may say that holding my urine is not good for my health, but at least it shows that my kidney function is very strong.
I can't compare with Lao Wang who drives a BMW next door. Lao Li also has three suites, but being able to hold on to them is a tacit victory.
However, it is not advisable to prove or test your renal function by holding your urine in turn.
Because this will not only damage the bladder, cause cystitis, urethritis and other diseases, but also have a bad influence on the kidney, leading to reflux nephritis, pyelonephritis and even renal failure.
What's more, holding urine can easily lead to male impotence. If you can't prove it, you will lose even worse. Holding urine for a long time will not only damage the urinary system, but also affect other organs of the human body.
It's not easy to go to the toilet.
Whether for health or work efficiency, it is the healthiest and most cost-effective way to go to the toilet in time when you want to pee. But for women, going to the toilet seems to be much more difficult than for men.
We can often see that no matter in scenic spots or restaurants, there are always long queues in front of women's toilets, while men's toilets are much more deserted.
I believe that many female compatriots have had urgency to urinate and finally found a toilet, but there are at least 10 and 20 people in front.
In fact, there are many reasons.
First of all, in terms of floor space, most public toilets for men and women are the same size. This seemingly uniform space allocation is actually very uneven.
Because in the same area, in addition to putting down as many squatting positions as women's toilets, men's toilets also have room to put down some urinals. This makes the men's toilet with the same area can accommodate more people than the women's toilet.
However, due to the problem of physiological structure, the average last urination time of women is 2-4 times that of men. This is one of the reasons why there is a long queue in front of the ladies' room.
And when you finally wait for a toilet seat and are ready to loosen it, you find that it is not so easy to loosen it. You've been holding it for a long time, and you can't pee? Are you being stupid?
Yes, in this case, it is very likely that you have suppressed your sphincter.
Hold your urine to the limit, because the sphincter is in a state of contraction for a long time, which is prone to spasm. When you sit on the toilet and want to pee, the sphincter can't adapt for a while.
What? Pee? What is peeing? How's it going? Isn't it a bit like you don't want to face work on Monday morning?
Holding your urine is also risky, so be careful when trying to be brave. Such forbearance will not be a temporary calm, but endless. Life has been so hard. When it's time to let it go, let it go.
