Be careful that holding urine for a long time may lead to bladder cancer

The frequency of urination is closely related to the incidence of bladder cancer. The less you urinate, the greater the risk of bladder cancer. This is because in the process of holding urine, the urine contains carcinogenic chemicals that will damage the bladder mucosa. Holding urine for a long time will cause more and more urine to accumulate in the bladder. Urine containing bacteria and toxic substances cannot be discharged in time, which can easily cause cystitis, urethritis, urinary pain, hematuria, etc., and in severe cases, it can also cause bladder cancer.

Holding urine is medically known as "forced urine retention". Urine is a product of kidney metabolism, containing many waste products and various toxic substances produced by human metabolism. The disadvantage of holding urine is that the urine in the bladder accumulates more and more, and the urine containing bacteria and toxic substances cannot be discharged in time, which can easily cause bladder cancer. In severe cases, urinary tract infection can also spread upward to the kidneys, causing pyelonephritis and pyelonephritis.

In addition, long-term urine retention can also cause bladder rupture. Forcibly holding urine for a long time will cause the urine in the bladder to increase continuously, exceeding the tolerance of the bladder smooth muscle and causing bladder rupture. After the bladder ruptures, urine extravasation can cause peritonitis, severe abdominal pain, and even shock, which is life-threatening. To prevent bladder cancer, you should also drink more water in your daily life to promote urine to excrete waste from the body.
