Urinating

I sometimes like to hold in my wee until I am really desperate but somone said I can get prostrate (sp??) cancer. I don't think this is the truth but now I was thinking maybe it is bad for my health to hold it all the time???

Yes you're keeping in toxins which you really shouldn't

Same with number twos, too. Don't hold it in if you have a bog nearby.

Your bladder may burst, leading to death. Find enjoyment in something else thats less life threatening!

urea? I really doubt it'll cause prostate cancer.

Other than that, urine is sterile, it doesn't have any bacteria or anything in it.

I'm pretty sure it's good to hold it in. (and it's not good for number twos)

If you dont have to hold it in then you shouldnt't. Not gonna be absorbing extra nutrients.

No I don't think urine is sterile. I could be wrong though, but I do remember in my science lessons, they taught that urine kills bacteria etc around your genitals and it's also a form of external protection from microbes? This was over 3 years ago though so I could be wrong, but it's probably worth double-checking.

As for urea - urea could kill. It's a toxin that your body's trying to get rid of. And you know constipation - it could happen with urinating. I think it happened to me once when I was a kid - held it in for ages, and then when I wanted to go I couldn't until after I'd had more water.

Holding in urine is definitely bad for you. Again, as a child - oh I did do some silly things as a child! - as a child, again I held it in for ages one time until well, I didn't feel the need to go anymore. And then a while later, there was this horrible pain around the stomach/bladder kinda region and I could barely walk or straighten myself cus it'd hurt so much. My parents were about to take me to the hospital cus we had no idea what was wrong, and I went to the loo, and suddenly it didn't hurt anymore.

And it's bad to stretch your bladder like that I think - I certainly can't think of it as healthy.

This was over 3 years ago though so I could be wrong, but it's probably worth double-checking.I'm pretty certain it is sterile. It kills bacteria because it's too acidic for them to live in it.

Hmm I think that's rubbish.. please explain how your urinary tract could get 'constipated'.

Yep.
Holding in urine stretches your bladder making it weaker. You may also lose sensation of needing to urinate and you're more likely to get UTIs. I haven't found any increase in likelihood of prostate cancer.

Safe? yes.
In most people the problem is they wee too often rather than too little.
THe problems happen when you are older. Your bladder is so overly stretched that it tends to sag and you become incontinent.
It happens most in the professions where people hold it for too long.
Nurses, Bus Drivers, Cabbies...
