The possible effect of holding back urine on the kidneys It can cause urine to flow into the ureter.
It can also cause uric acid to deposit in the kidney or ureter, which can cause stones to occur, and it can also cause inflammation in the bladder, causing frequent urination, urgency, and symptoms such as pyelonephritis. Long-term holding back urine will cause urine to flow back to the kidneys, which will adversely affect one’s own health and cause damage to the urination machine.
Usually, it is necessary to develop the habit of urinating on time to avoid illness. Avoiding drinking water two hours before going to bed at night may affect normal sleep and cause urination.
