Why you can’t endure when you want to go to the toilet

To restrain one's natural needs is to harm oneself. Doctors are ready to reveal the cards, why you can’t endure when you want to go to the toilet.

Harmful urinary retention and bowel movements

The main task of the body with regards to waste products is their timely withdrawal. Therefore, to endure the urge to urinate or defecate is always bad, even worse when it happens on a regular basis. First of all, it is impossible to avoid intoxication of the body due to the accumulation of acids and ammonia in the bladder, and in the intestines - feces and gases.

If you postpone going to the toilet “for a long time” for a long time, you can earn constipation and, as a result, anal fissures and hemorrhoids. Regular long-term contact of the rectal mucosa with waste can lead to chronic inflammation in the organ, and then to cancer.

If you do not empty the bladder for a long time, then the walls of the organ will stretch, and the receptors will stop signaling in time that it is time to cope with a small need. A few more problems that may arise if you constantly endure "a little":

The formation of kidney stones. They are formed by waste, which easily gets from a crowded bladder into the renal apparatus.
Bladder-ureter reflux. It refers to the return of urine to the ureters and kidneys. Against this background, inflammation of the urinary organs develops.
Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Normally, they hold urine and help get rid of it. By making the muscles stand idle for a long time, you will no longer feel the need to go to the toilet. However, you will feel tired, chills, abdominal pain.

The consequences of urinary retention for men

Urine or, in simple words, urine is an excellent medium for the development of pathogenic microorganisms. If you do not get rid of it in time, then the bacteria settle on the walls of the urinary tract and cause inflammation of the organs. In addition to “banal” cystitis, men can have prostatitis, which will negatively affect their sex life.

Why women can not stand

Women should empty the bladder in a timely manner to avoid cystitis and urethritis, which lead to a decrease in the quality of life and even affect the ability to have children. It is especially harmful for pregnant women to restrain their natural urge. An enlarged bladder puts pressure on the uterus, increasing its tone. This can cause bleeding or miscarriage.

The harm of prolonged patience in children

Long stool retention in children ends with constipation. This threatens the child with intoxication, a decrease in immunity, trauma to the rectal mucosa. The baby may have a fear of emptying, as he previously experienced pain during it. Therefore, the child will consciously suppress the urge to defecate, which will ultimately lead to a vicious cycle.

If the baby cannot recover for a long time “a little”, then this situation will become the background for the development of cystitis, urethritis and kidney diseases. Plus, the child will constantly feel psychological discomfort and fatigue.

Do not put off going to the toilet, no matter what important business you are waiting for. Health care must come first!
