Can holding urine cause urethritis?

In daily life, I believe that many female friends often have the problem of holding urine. Generally, women hold urine mainly because they have no choice. However, holding urine can cause great harm to women's bodies. Frequent holding of urine can easily lead to urethral infection and inflammation. Some women believe that this phenomenon will not occur. Let us take a brief look at whether holding urine can lead to urethritis?

If you hold your urine for a long time, the bladder will swell, the blood vessels in the bladder wall will be compressed, the bladder mucosa will be ischemic, and the resistance will be reduced. Therefore, bacteria will take advantage of the opportunity to enter and grow and multiply rapidly, easily causing diseases such as cystitis, urethritis, dysuria, hematuria or enuresis. The female urethra is relatively short, and the urethral opening is near the perineum, so bacteria can easily invade. Holding urine for a long time can easily make the vulva partially moist. Over time, bacteria will multiply in large numbers and take advantage of the opportunity to invade the female body, causing urethral congestion and edema, and causing urethritis.

Many female friends do not pay enough attention to inflammation. In addition, some women like to endure, and because they are busy with work, they like to go to the pharmacy to buy some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs on their own, which causes the disease to be artificially delayed. If the inflammation is not completely cured in the acute stage and turns into chronic inflammation, it is easy to persist for a long time and recur. It is recommended that female friends go to a regular hospital for regular treatment in time if they are sick.

Women should avoid holding urine and should drink more water. Some women often hold urine, which can cause pelvic congestion and trigger urethritis. In addition, some women drink less water or even no water in order to reduce the trouble of going to the toilet. Experts say this is highly undesirable. Drinking more water can dilute urine, effectively flush the urethra, flush away bacteria and other harmful substances in time, and reduce the chance of urethritis infection.

The reason why women are prone to urethritis is that their urethra is relatively short and the urethral opening is near the perineum, making it easy for bacteria to invade. In addition, women's vulva is particularly rich in sweat glands. Holding urine for a long time can easily make the vulva moist. Over time, bacteria will multiply in large numbers and take advantage of the opportunity to invade the female body, causing urethral congestion and edema, and causing urethritis.

The vagina has its own defense capabilities and inhibitory effects on vaginal Clostridium difficile. About 10% of women and 30% of pregnant women are carriers, but they do not have any clinical symptoms. Be sure to take care to avoid damaging the internal environment of the vagina and suffering from urethritis due to unclean sexual life. During periods of overwork and excessive psychological stress, it is best to reduce the frequency of sexual intercourse to avoid inducing urethritis. In addition, urethritis needs to be diagnosed by a doctor before medication can be used. If the patient purchases the medicine on his own and takes it improperly, the already chaotic vaginal bacterial environment will become even more chaotic and the condition will become more serious.

After suffering from urethritis, women generally experience pain when urinating, as well as urgency, frequency, and incomplete urination. Severe patients are also prone to lower back pain, which has a great impact on women's bodies. Therefore, it must not be taken lightly. If any adverse symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital for treatment.
