Many of us were afraid in childhood – if you don’t go to the bathroom for a long time when the bladder is full, problems can occur – it will burst. This children’s “horror story” is firmly rooted in our minds. But how real are such statements: can a person’s bladder really burst if you bear it for a long time, do not go to the toilet in a small way so that the organ literally overflows?
Yes, it is harmful to hold out for a long time, doctors do not deny it. Going to the bathroom to urinate should be about once every 4-6 hours or as needed when the urgency arises. But to be patient, if the situation does not allow emptying at this time, it is also possible, this will not affect health. “Doctor Peter” asked Dmitry Zhuravsky, a urologist-andrologist, questions about this problem.
