What to do if there is a lot of residual urine in the bladder

If you always feel that there is residual urine in your bladder and the amount of urine is relatively large, you should try to drain it out. You must not hold it. Holding urine for a long time will cause more serious symptoms, which will cause many complications. You can also improve these symptoms through some physical exercise.

When you feel like you have to hold your urine, in addition to trying your best to hold it in, the best way is to drink plenty of water and force yourself to hold your urine for a few more hours. This can exercise the bladder and avoid the possibility of urinary incontinence.

Drink more water: The recommended daily amount is 2000-3000cc. Sufficient water can protect the health of the urinary tract. In fact, if you experience any discomfort in your bladder or urethra, you can drink more water before seeing a doctor. Because accelerated excretion is the best way to solve all urinary tract problems and can effectively alleviate the condition, never refuse to drink water because you are afraid of pain or going to the toilet.

It is best to exercise your bladder outdoors before going out. If you think it is ungentle to be incontinent in public places, you can bring your own portable toilet. Many girls do not trust toilets in public places, so they would rather step on the toilet lid in high heels. This not only causes pollution, but is also a very difficult and dangerous action. You often sprain your ankle if you are not careful, which is not worth it.

1 Holding urine increases the risk of bladder cancer

There are many disadvantages to holding urine. Because urine is stored in the bladder for too long, bacteria will multiply, which can easily cause cystitis and urethritis, and increase the chance of stones. Holding urine for a long time can also cause urine reflux and lead to pyelonephritis, and in severe cases it can also affect kidney function.

Holding urine may also cause urinary syncope or lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Holding urine for a long time can also cause the sphincter to relax and lead to urinary incontinence. According to research reports, people who have the habit of holding urine are more likely to develop bladder cancer than the average person.

2 Holding urine will affect urination function

In fact, urine storage and excretion in the human body is a complex regulatory process. After holding urine for a long time, urethral sphincter spasm or detrusor muscle weakness (just like the valve of a reservoir fails to open, or the water pump is underpowered) is the main reason for being unable to urinate or having difficulty urinating after holding urine for a long time.

This situation is particularly prone to occur in people with prostate hyperplasia. Due to prostate hyperplasia, there is a certain amount of residual urine after each urination. Long-term chronic urinary retention and further holding urine will cause compression and damage to the bladder nerves, leading to neurogenic bladder, which causes the bladder relaxation sensation to disappear or the bladder detrusor contraction function to be damaged, and urination disorders will also occur.

3. Holding urine can cause impotence

Patients with premature ejaculation should not hold their urine

Someone came up with this idea. Because holding urine can make the human body excited and increase the degree of erection, some people want to use the method of holding urine during sexual intercourse to treat premature ejaculation. But in reality, this method has no effect on premature ejaculation, and may even aggravate the condition.
