What happens if you hold your urine for a long time?

Long-term retention of urine may lead to bladder sphincter relaxation, cystitis and urinary system stones.

1. Bladder sphincter relaxation.

Long-term retention of urine can easily lead to continuous expansion of bladder sphincter, resulting in decreased muscle function, resulting in bladder sphincter relaxation.

2. Cystitis When

urine is retained, urine is concentrated for a long time and easy to breed bacteria and infect the bladder, forming cystitis.

3. Urinary system stones

Urine contains certain crystal substances. Long-term retention of urine can lead to precipitation of these substances with calcium and phosphorus compounds, thus forming urinary system stones.
