A recent news has attracted people’s attention: Uncle Zhou, who is nearly 60 years old, died suddenly on the way from Chongqing to Guangzhou on a long-distance bus to reunite with his son. The doctor judged that the sudden death may be caused by arrhythmia caused by holding the urine for too long. This unfortunate incident has sounded the alarm for all old friends.
When people hold their urine, they will obviously feel that their lower abdomen is swollen, and the longer the time is, the more irritable they will be, and many physical discomfort will occur. This is because the bladder is filled with urine and the sympathetic nerve is too excited. This excitement is like quarreling with people. Under the induction of physiological and psychological tension caused by urine suppression, the blood pressure of patients with hypertension will rise and the heartbeat will accelerate, while patients with coronary heart disease will have angina pectoris and severe myocardial ischemia, which may lead to arrhythmia and sudden death in serious cases. Therefore, sudden death caused by arrhythmia caused by holding urine for too long is rare, but it is also possible.
In addition, it is also dangerous to urinate suddenly after holding your urine for too long. If you urinate suddenly and forcefully after holding your urine for a long time, the vagus nerve will become overly excited, and the bladder will empty too fast, and the blood will go down, which will cause the blood pressure to drop, the heart rate to slow down, the blood supply to the brain to be insufficient, and induce micturition syncope. This is not uncommon. After syncope, if the patient is not treated in time, his life is likely to be in danger. It can be seen that the harm of holding back urine is really terrible!
In fact, many elderly people have the habit of holding back their urine. Some are afraid of the cold in winter and are reluctant to get up at night; Some go out to play and don’t bother to find the toilet; Some even fear “losing their luck” when they go to the toilet because they play mahjong and cards… Holding back urine will not only “hurt”, but also affect the health of the urinary system, leading to acute nephritis and even inducing bladder cancer. Studies in the United States have pointed out that people with a habit of holding back urine are 3-5 times more likely to suffer from bladder cancer than ordinary people. Therefore, when the elderly have urine, they must go to the toilet in time, and do not hold their urine for a long time because of trouble or fear of cold. If you urinate after holding your urine, you’d better not stand up to urinate. You must move slowly and do not use force.
women are prone to infertility due to long-term urination
Now, due to the tension of life and work, many women sometimes have to hold back their urine under the influence of the environment. However, holding back their urine will bring great harm to women. Women who hold their urine for a long time will not only affect the bladder function, but also cause urinary tract infection. So this should attract the attention of female friends.
This is because the organ structure in the abdominal cavity of women is more complex, and their urinary system is more vulnerable to bacterial invasion than that of men. Women who hold their urine for a long time will not only affect the bladder function, but also cause urinary tract infection.
Female internal reproductive organs and bladder “cohabit” in the pelvic cavity, and the relationship is “close”. Holding back urine can fill the bladder, thus compressing the uterus. If the oppressed uterine body “squeezes” the nerve plexus in front of the sacrum, it can cause lumbar pain, and even infertility in serious cases.
If you often hold back your urine, it is difficult to reset the uterus if it tilts backward; When the bladder severely compresses the uterus, it will impede the outflow of menstrual blood and cause serious dysmenorrhea. If the oppressed uterine body “squeezes” the nerve plexus in front of the sacrum, it can cause lumbar pain, sexual pain, and serious infertility.
If you hold your urine for too long, the peripheral nerves of the bladder can change from tension to paralysis, lose the sense of urination, cause bladder neck obstruction, and present symptoms such as difficulty in urination, leakage of urine, incontinence, etc., causing greater trouble.
Therefore, after you hold your urine for a period of time, in addition to emptying your bladder as soon as possible, the best way is to replenish a lot of water and force yourself to urinate more times. This has a flushing effect on the bladder and can avoid the proliferation of bacteria in the bladder.
In addition, foreign research data show that the number of urination is closely related to the incidence rate of bladder cancer. The less the number of urination, the greater the risk of bladder cancer, because holding back urine increases the action time of carcinogens in urine on the bladder. Recently, the Research Report of American scientists said that people who have the habit of holding back urine are 3-5 times more likely to suffer from bladder cancer in the future than ordinary people.
A bubble of urine in the morning explains the physical threat of men!
vesicles in urine: a man’s “anterior gland” crisis
If you find a layer of tiny foam floating on the surface of urine and it does not disperse for a long time, it may be an early symptom of nephritis or a hint that men have prostatitis. This “small bubble” is caused by too much protein in the urine. The earliest change of nephritis is the presence of protein in the urine. If not actively treated, it is very easy to have problems such as renal insufficiency.
In addition, if a man has prostatitis, his urine may carry prostatic fluid, which will cause oil beads on the surface of his urine, presenting a “bubble urine” state with more “small bubbles”.
Normal conditions: if the foam is large or different in size and lasts for a short time, it belongs to the normal foam, so there is no need to be nervous.
Urine yellow band red: urinary tract infection
If the urine is red, it is likely to be a symptom of urinary tract infection, such as urethritis and urinary system stones. Generally, hematuria is accompanied by frequent urination, urgency and pain. It is recommended to go to the urology department of the hospital for examination so as not to miss the best opportunity for treatment.
Normal condition: eating vegetables and fruits with natural pigments such as carrots will also make your urine red. However, this phenomenon is only temporary. After drinking more cups of boiled water, it will gradually return to normal.
Yellow urine like strong tea: pay more attention to liver problems
If the urine is yellow like strong tea for a long time, it often indicates that there is a problem with the liver.
If the urine turns yellow for a long time, you must pay attention to whether there are other symptoms in the body, such as jaundice, fatigue, upper abdomen discomfort and pain, and go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time.
Normal condition: if you only have yellow urine once or twice, the time is short and there is no other discomfort, you don’t need to worry. The color change of urine is related to the amount of perspiration, drinking water and diet. If you sweat more and drink less, the color of urine will deepen; When I first got up, my urine was dark and smelled heavy.
Conclusion: there are many reasons for sudden death. In the final analysis, it is because people don’t have healthy living habits. If we could pay more attention to a healthy lifestyle in life, such a tragedy would not happen!
