Introduction: Urine is a fluid produced by the kidneys and discharged through the ureters and bladder. It is healthy and correct habit to discharge urine in time when having urine intention.
Ancient scholar Su Dongpo recorded in his works Yang Sheng Za Ji(Health Preservation Miscellaneous Records) that: "to live long, urinate clear; Live long, urinate clean." Urine is clean, is a sign that human body water metabolism is normal, waste can be eliminated clean. And in ancient works Lao Lao Heng Yan(Old Old constant saying) recorded: "urine only to get the benefit." Keeping urine clean is an important part of good health. Ancient works Qian jin fang mentioned "incontinence and not urinate, lead to cold knee and impediment", emphasizing the importance of timely urination.
There is urine then go to pee.
The medical term for holding back urine is "forced retention." As the old folks saying goes "running water is not corrupt", normal micturition can not only discharge the metabolite product inside the body, and also have self-purify effect to urological system. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believes that urination is the main way to dispel dross after water metabolism, which is closely related to lungs, spleen, kidney, bladder and other viscera. In the whole process of water fluid metabolism, kidney Qi is the prime motivity of metabolism, regulating the function activity of each link, so there is "kidney advocate water" theory. The quality of water metabolism reflects the normality or not of the Zang-Fu energy, especially whether the kidney Qi is vigorous.
How to reduce the possibility of holding back urine:
Once having urine intention, you should go to the washroom in time to pee. Should not hold urine to reduce drink water or do not drink water, otherwise very harmful to the body. When urinating also should pay attention to, do not force urinating, do not force breath hold.

The dangers of constantly holding back urine
✵1. Beneficial kidney detoxification: holding back urine for a long time will make the urine in the bladder or urine bacteria retrograde to the renal pelvis, causing reflux renal disease or pyelonephritis, over time lead to renal parenchymal structure damage, even renal failure.
✵2. Bladder protection: holding back urine is easy to cause cystitis, urethritis and other urinary system diseases, and because of the prolonged effect of carcinogens in urine on the bladder, it is easy to induce bladder stones or even bladder cancer.
✵3. Maintenance function: hold back urine for a long time will make the main urinary sphincter lose, bladder chamber elasticity weakened, urine function will go down. Not only can lead to gradually urinate frequency, but micturition time is also prolonged, micturition incontinence, still can bring about kidney edema, azogenemia, and uremia.
✵4. Protect heart and brain: under the action of physiological and psychological double tension factors caused by holding back urine, patients with hypertension will have elevated blood pressure, faster heartbeat, coronary heart disease patients will appear angina, arrhythmia and other symptoms, and may cause cardiovascular disease, serious will also lead to sudden death.
✵5. Protect the uterus: when you hold back urine, a full bladder can compress the uterus and tilt it back. If often hold back urine, the uterus is difficult to reset after tilting, thereby obstructing menstrual blood outflow, serious dysmenorrhea symptoms; Lumbosacral pain can also occur when the uterine body presses on the plexus in front of the sacrum and can cause pain during sexual intercourse.

It is mainly caused by sudden and forced urination that causes increased pressure in the chest and leads to cerebral ischemia. And in cold days hold back urine result making the urine in the bladder too much, when empty quickly, cause bradycardia through vagus nerve reflex, also can cause micturition induced syncope.
✵7. Treatment of dampness: the former sages ever said, "to cure dampness and not conducive to urine, not to cure it", refers to the key to curing dampness is to pass urine to guide pathogen to go out. The disease of dampness and heat is the combination of dampness and heat. The so-called "infiltration of dampness under heat" actually means "the benefit of urinating to dispel dampness and heat", and "The boost of Yang does not rely on dampness, but on free urinating." profoundly illustrates the special value of urination in the treatment of dampness and heat.
✵Tips: Go to lavatory outside you can buy some "one-time toilet sits paper", can avoid cross infection.
