Does holding urine really cause lower back pain?

Holding urine is very common in our daily life, and almost every friend has experienced it, especially when we are in school, we may have to hold urine because the teacher delays the class and we cannot go to the toilet to urinate. However, there are indeed many disadvantages of holding urine. Some friends will experience back pain. So, will holding urine cause back pain? Let’s take a brief look at it!

1. Holding urine will cause the bladder to swell, the blood vessels in the bladder wall to be compressed, the bladder mucosa to become ischemic, and the resistance to disease to be reduced. Bacteria will take advantage of the situation and grow and multiply rapidly, which can not only easily cause urinary system diseases such as cystitis and urethritis, but in severe cases it can also affect kidney function. Holding urine can cause urine reflux, and the bacteria-laden urine can flow back into the kidneys, which can easily lead to acute pyelonephritis.

Second, holding urine can also cause physical and psychological tension, which can increase blood pressure in patients with hypertension, cause arrhythmias and even angina pectoris in patients with coronary heart disease, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire for the elderly who already have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If people with enlarged prostate hold their urine for a long time, it will cause even more trouble to their already enlarged prostate.

3. Holding urine will prevent toxic substances in the urine from being excreted from the body in time, prolonging the effect of carcinogens in the urine on the bladder and easily inducing the occurrence of bladder cancer. According to a research report by American scientists, people who have the habit of holding their urine are 3 to 5 times more likely to develop bladder cancer than the average person. Therefore, holding urine is a very bad habit, and people should develop the habit of urinating at regular times.

If you hold your urine for a long time, it will become a bad habit, so friends must change these bad habits, and there are many disadvantages. There may not be any discomfort at the beginning, but over time, kidney diseases such as nephritis will occur, so patients must pay more attention to it.
