Can I hold my urine if I have neurogenic urinary frequency?

Holding urine is a bad habit, and if you hold urine for a long time it will affect your kidneys, especially causing stones, kidney failure and other diseases. Therefore, it is recommended that you should develop the good habit of going to the toilet when you feel the urge to defecate. But life is never perfect. Some people suffer from neurogenic urinary frequency and always want to urinate. So, can they hold their urine if they have neurogenic urinary frequency? Let’s take a look at the expert’s introduction below.

1. Non-drug treatment. Non-drug treatments mainly include:

①Control your emotions. Patients with neurogenic frequent urination should relax their nerves, divert their attention (such as participating in physical exercise), and try not to think about urination problems. At the same time, patients with this disease should try to avoid drinking sugar water, sweet drinks and tea.

②Do ani lifting exercises (no less than 50 times each time). Patients with neurogenic urinary frequency can enhance the contraction and relaxation function of the urethral sphincter by doing ani-lift exercises regularly.

③Perform urination training. The specific method of urination training is: patients with neurogenic frequent urination should choose an appropriate interval to urinate regularly during the day regardless of whether they have the urge to urinate or not, such as urinating once every two hours. Whenever it is time to urinate, the patient should urinate in time regardless of whether he or she feels like urinating or not. If it is not time to urinate, the patient should be patient and wait until it is time to urinate even if he feels the urge to urinate. This urination training can fully exercise the patient's bladder's urine storage function.

2. Drug treatment. In clinical practice, scopolamine (5 mg each time, 2 to 3 times a day) combined with indomethacin (25 mg each time, 2 to 3 times a day) is often used to treat neurogenic urinary frequency. If the patient's condition is severe, antidepressants (such as clomipramine) or anti-anxiety sedatives (such as diazepam) can be used for treatment at the same time.

The symptom of the disease of neurogenic urinary frequency is an increase in the number of urinations every day. Some people even need to urinate 20-30 times a day, especially at night. It greatly affects people's life and sleep quality. Now through the above introduction, we have learned some treatments for neurogenic urinary frequency. I hope you who suffer from this disease should pay more attention.
