Urination is a normal bodily function, but many people hold it for long periods due to compulsion or habit. Women, in particular, often face this problem due to lack of access to clean public toilets. However, frequent urinary retention can be very dangerous for health.
Urination is a normal bodily function, but many people hold it for long periods due to compulsion or habit. Women, in particular, often face this problem due to lack of access to clean public toilets. However, frequent urinary retention can be very dangerous for health.
Recently, a 28-year-old woman developed a severe infection in this case. This woman was suffering from frequent urinary retention. Despite the best efforts of the doctors, he could not be saved. According to doctors, this problem is increasing rapidly among both men and women these days.
When the doctors examined the patient’s medical history, they found that she had frequent urinary retention. She was a corporate employee and traveled daily by public transport. Due to this, he had to hold his urine often. He had suffered from UTIs (urine infection) twice before, and the third time, the infection spread to the blood. Doctors say that urinary retention can allow bacteria to grow, which can lead to UTIs, kidney infections, and in severe cases, even sepsis.
The most important thing is not to stop drinking water. Always go to the bathroom before leaving home and as soon as you reach office. Women can use a stand-and-pee device if needed, which helps avoid dirty toilets.
If you experience problems such as burning, odor, discoloration, or decreased urination, consult a doctor immediately. Even a little carelessness can lead to serious and life-threatening problems. Urinating on time is not only comfortable but also very important for your health.
