Why do I die suddenly when I go to the toilet? Holding urine increases risk?
Chen Shuqiu, deputy chief physician of the Department of Urology at Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University in Jiangsu Province, concluded that the woman probably had an accident because she had to hold in her urine for too long. Doctors explain that holding back urine can easily lead to nervous tension and over-stimulation. When the bladder is emptied too quickly, blood pressure and heart rate will drop, and blood cannot be transported to the brain, leading to coma and “urinary syncope.” If you fail to receive timely treatment after fainting, there is a risk of sudden death.

To avoid urinary syncope, the following are recommended:

Dr. Chen Shuqiu, deputy chief physician of the Department of Urology, continued that the habit of holding back urine itself will not directly lead to death. However, if you suffer from cardiovascular disease, holding back urine may make the condition more serious or even lead to death. In addition, once you fall to the ground after urinary fainting, your body may collide with surrounding objects, which may also lead to injury or death.
