Pain and discomfort: If you resist the urge to urinate regularly, you might feel discomfort and even pain in the bladder or kidneys.
Painful urination: If you hold urine, actual urination might be quite painful.
Spasms: If you don’t urinate for too long, the muscles might remain partially clenched, even after peeing. It may lead to pelvic cramps.
Urinary tract infection: Holding in urine may lead to bacteria reproduction. And this leads to urinary tract infections.
Stretching the bladder: This is dangerous because the bladder won’t be able to contract and release urine normally.
Damage to pelvic floor muscles: Holding pee for too long may lead to damaging the pelvic floor muscles and cause urinary incontinence.
Kidney stones: In some people, holding pee may lead to kidney stones. That’s because urine can often contain minerals, such as uric acid and calcium oxalate.
