Hold pee for too long

Yes, if you hold your pee to long it can cause a bladder infection, expecially in young children.

If I held my pee too long I’d be in agony… Should this question be banned under the category of ‘questions too ridiculous to be allowed on funadvice’?

Yes it can mess up your bladder. I’ve held in pea and I feel the pain when I do that especially when I go on trips where I don’t feel like using public restrooms. If you need to use the restroom, go when you need too. I wouldn’t hold it to long but if you can’t get access, there are tips to hold it until you can get permission or when there would be a restroom availible. So, try not to do that. You’ll be in agony if you hold it in for so long.

yes because I know form experience but not my choice. I worked at a job that would not let us go to the bathroom when we needed to go and myself and others would be holding it anywhere from 3-8 hrs. now im having problems. The minute you realize you need to go you should go. If you cant the longest you should hold it is 30 min to an hour.

KK thanx

no I held for 2 hrs

yes

Sometimes it is fun holding so when you go it is a great pleasure.

It is against the law not to give bathroom breaks every 2 or 3 hours. What you need to do, is to get everyone whose bladders are bursting and hurting to get together, squat down and pee where you are.

Actually holding back your pee does not usually cause an infection unless bacteria gets up the urethra, most often in girls from wiping the wrong way–bottom to the urine opening.

Again not so unless you take off the diaper and wipe from the bottom to the pee opening. Taking a bath with bubble soap can cause irritation at the pee opening which may cause bacteria to collect there and up the urethra (tube) into the bladder.

Holding a large quanity can enlarge the bladder. It should not be tried except once or twice a week. If you have pain in the bladder.you need to pee within a half hour. If you have pain in the kidney area, you need to get rid of your urine at once because your pee may be backing up into the kidneys. Also if you hold too long, you may not be able to pee for a long time when you try. Some may not be able to go at all. So you have to go to the ER and have them open the urethra by putting a plastic tube(catheter)from the pee opening into the bladder and drain all the pee you are holding.
