Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt came to promote her film 'Jigra' in the second season of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'. There he told that a few , during Paris Fashion Week, he had to hold his urine for 6 hours. In fact, during this time she wore a 23 feet long saree. She couldn't go to the washroom wearing this.

In such a situation, the question arises that, if a person holds urine for 6 hours, what can be the consequences? Can it cause any harm to health?

Generally, doctors recommend passing urine once every three hours, but sometimes such situations arise that it becomes necessary to stop urination. Politicians, sportsmen and artists and singers who perform live at concerts often have to abstain from passing urine for several hours.

This is a serious problem in our country. Men stop their vehicles on the road and start passing urine anywhere, while women often have to stop for a few hours in their own homes to pass urine. Especially if guests have come to the house and the path to the washroom passes in front of them, then women are unable to use the washroom for several hours without hesitation.

So, today' health water In this article we will tell you how much time a person can hold urine. You will also learn that-

How many times is it necessary to pass urine to stay healthy? Most people pass urine 6-7 times every 24 hours. If a person passes urine 4 to 10 times a day and it is not affecting his life, then he can be considered healthy. Doctors recommend that a healthy adult pass urine approximately once every 3 hours. This frequency may change with age because the size of the urinary bladder also changes with age. It also depends on the amount of fluid consumed throughout the day.

This means that a healthy adult person can store 300-400 ml of fluid in the urinary bladder. If necessary, its size also increases, but due to this the person has to face pain, discomfort and infection.

Normally, when our urinary bladder is a little more than half full, it starts signaling us to release urine. This is a natural call. So, the more often we ignore this signal from the urinary bladder, the closer we bring ourselves to problems.

What problems can occur by holding urine for a long time?

Now let us understand all the :

pain and discomfort If a person continues to regularly or frequently ignore the urge to pass urine, he may experience pain in the bladder or kidneys. A situation of strange discomfort may arise. There may also be pain while passing urine. Even after this, sometimes there is contraction in the muscles, which can cause stretching in the pelvic area.

The area of ​​the urinary tract can cause infection Sometimes, holding urine for a long time can lead to bacteria growth. This can cause urinary tract infection (UTI).

This is why doctors recommend avoiding the habit of holding urine for a long time as it can increase the risk of UTI. People who have had UTI problems before are at greater risk.

If a person does not drink adequate amount of water and other fluids, then he is also more likely to get UTI. This happens because without fluid the urge to pass urine will not arise. This can cause bacteria to spread in the urinary tract and cause infection.

When a UTI occurs, symptoms such as:

The urinary bladder may stretch If a person regularly holds back urine for several days, there may be strain on the urinary bladder. This will weaken the bladder's ability to naturally expand and contract, making it difficult or sometimes impossible to pass urine.

If a person's urinary bladder has expanded too much due to strain, a urinary tract or artificial urinary tract may be required to provide relief.

pelvic muscles may be damaged Frequent retention of urine causes damage to pelvic area muscles. The job of some of these muscles is to control urine. If it gets damaged, it becomes difficult to control urine for some time.

may have kidney stones People who have had kidney stones due to holding urine for a long time or who have high levels of minerals in their urine can develop kidney stones. Urine often contains minerals such as uric acid and calcium oxalate.

Can holding urine for a long time cause death?
