Doctors answer women’s concerns: Is peeing while taking a shower unsanitary? And whispers 1 benefit that is good for your health!
Some women take advantage of taking a shower to urinate at the same time because they find it convenient, while others find it unhygienic, and some therapists do not recommend it because it affects physiological habits.
However, recently, some foreign urologists have come out to encourage women to urinate while taking a shower. As the warm water can relax the sphincter muscles and reduce pressure on the bladder. Which is said to have health benefits.
According to foreign media reports, CNN reported that “Karyn Eilber,” a urologist from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, responded to questions about rumors that urinating while showering is harmful to health.
He analyzed from a ยูฟ่าเบท health perspective that urinating. While taking a shower does not have any negative effects on health and is mostly very convenient. In the past, there was a view that if women stood to urinate. The pelvic floor muscles would not be able to relax, causing urine to not be able to drain completely.
Likewise, David Shusterman, a urologist from New York, says the warm environment of a shower helps the muscles relax and allows for natural urination, which can avoid the straining that can put pressure on the muscles and bladder.
When we urinate, the urethral sphincter and external sphincter muscles control the flow of urine from the bladder. Exertion can cause the sphincter muscles to contract and make it difficult for urine to be expelled. Therefore, it is healthier to urinate in a warm, relaxed environment. It is also less likely to clog the drain.
However, experts also emphasize that there is one case where urinating while taking a bath is not recommended. “Do not urinate while soaking in a bathtub” because hot water is a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. If you urinate while soaking in the water, the bacteria will enter the urethra, which may increase the risk of urinary tract infections.
