On the last New Year’s Eve, while enjoying the joy, people are also carrying out a unique "urine holding challenge" …
Traffic jam, can’t squeeze out, can’t find a public toilet … I have to rely on one word-hold it! Someone will suppress something wrong.
"Special Forces" after the New Year’s Eve
Female college students entered the hospital on the second day of the new year.
On New Year’s Eve, Xiao Xiao, a college student, arranged a full schedule with his friends: in the morning, he went to the Chenghuang Pavilion to ring a bell to pray for blessings, in the afternoon, he watched a movie, went to Binjiang Yintai for dinner, then watched the intangible performance "Beating the Iron Flower", and then rushed to the lakeside in77 to release balloons for New Year’s Eve.
However, it is difficult to achieve, because there are crowds of people everywhere, and there are queues everywhere, so "holding your urine" has become a last resort.
One hour before the countdown to the New Year’s Eve, Xiaoxiao felt that her urine was getting stronger and stronger, but at this time, she was already unable to move. After the balloon release, let alone going to the toilet, she and her friends finally didn’t even get on the last subway, so they walked for half an hour with a strong sense of suffocation before getting on the bus.
When I got home, it was 3 am on New Year’s Day. Xiaoxiao, who was finally "released", found that the urine was not smooth, and she felt that she couldn’t finish it. She just stood up and wanted to urinate, accompanied by a pain in her lower abdomen. At first glance, she was shocked and the color of her urine became pink.
On the afternoon of January 2, accompanied by her family, Xiaoxiao, whose symptoms have not been alleviated, went to the urology department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Xinhua Hospital of Zhejiang Province), and was admitted by Hu Qing, the chief physician of urology department. After examination, Xiaoxiao was diagnosed as a urinary tract infection, and holding urine for a long time also caused his bladder detrusor to contract weakly, so he felt dysuria. In view of Xiaoxiao’s situation, Hu Qing also used the hospital’s characteristic precise puncture to innervate the bladder and electroacupuncture moxibustion to promote the recovery of bladder detrusor muscle strength.
Hu Qing said that it is not uncommon for Xiao Xiao to enter the hospital because of urinating.
During the Spring Festival last year, 36-year-old Ms. Liu and her family drove back to their hometown by car, met with a high-speed traffic jam, and held their urine for five hours all the way. Later, they began to have repeated urgency and pain, accompanied by a sense of urinary incontinence. After taking antibiotics orally for one week, their condition worsened, and even they had symptoms of poor urination and strenuous urination. After returning to Hangzhou, Ms. Liu went to Hu Qing’s expert clinic to see a doctor. The urodynamics showed that the detrusor muscle strength decreased, suggesting that the bladder urination function was impaired. Hu Qing gave a treatment plan of transcutaneous electroacupuncture combined with bladder function rehabilitation training. After a period of treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, Ms. Liu’s symptoms were obviously relieved.
In fact, the risk of causing disease by holding urine is hidden in daily bad habits.
From the medical history inquiry of He Xiaoxiao, I learned that the weather is cold recently, Xiaoxiao likes to lie in bed and catch up with drama, and he often holds back when he has a sense of urine, often for an hour or two.
"In addition to urinating because of playing games and chasing dramas, we also met some young white-collar workers in the clinic. Because of their busy work, they habitually urinated for a long time or simply didn’t drink water all day, and finally developed into urinary tract infection or even pyelonephritis. I have to see a doctor." Hu Qing said.
It’s risky to hold your urine. If you want to pee, you have to pee
Urine is one of the wastes produced by human metabolism, which is produced by kidney filtration and then temporarily stored in the bladder, a professional urine collector. The bladder is like a "balloon" filled with water, which has certain elasticity but limited capacity. When the stored urine exceeds a certain level, the pressure sensor on the bladder wall will send a distress signal to the brain, and we will have a sense of urine. At this time, the brain will analyze whether it is the best time to go to the toilet. If the brain gives the order "release the brake!" The clip "urethral sphincter" that originally sealed the lower end of the "balloon" quickly opened and excreted urine through the urethra; If the brain says, "just bear it!" The urethral sphincter is strictly guarded against death, and the bladder is constantly expanding to maintain a certain volume and prevent the outflow of urine.
Holding back urine is called "compulsory urine retention" in medicine. It’s harmless to hold your urine occasionally, but doing so frequently may bring a lot of unexpected harm to your health. In daily life, everyone should develop good urination habits, and when they have a sense of urination, they should get rid of it in time, and make corresponding preparations when going out or on special occasions to prevent embarrassing situations.
"Urinating is not a trivial matter. If there are frequent urination, urgency, urinary incontinence, painful urination, etc., you should go to the hospital for evaluation and examination in time, especially for elderly patients. Don’t feel that you have passed because you are old, and the result will be heavier and heavier." Hu Qing reminded.
