As infant babies we usually don't know how to control when to pee. But as we grow older into a younger kid, we are being taught by our parents to control ourselves and know when to let go(pee).
Sometimes, we hold it too long due to being busy or absent of nearby facilities to pee.(especially for our ladies compared to the men who could just do it almost anywhere. Lol.) This too isn't bad.

•But it becomes bad when 'learning to hold our pee for a long time becomes a habit".

====)) WHY?
Your bladder which is responsible for holding up your urine has the capacity of holding about two cups of water -comfortably and even lesser for kids.
And it's like a muscle, so the more urine is being stored up there without removal, it causes your bladder to overwork or over stress itself which could lead to other effects and you don't want that. Do you?

Now below are some effects of holding pee for too long.
~~> You Brain won't keep up with when you want to pee
The more you try to avoid having to pee, the more your bladder stretches and a doctor confirmed this could lead to your brain losing its ability to know when you have to pee. The message your bladder sends to your brain go thereby go unnoticed and this could lead to;

• Your peeing on your pants..

Weldone! You just ruined your dress. Now that's going to be a huge embarassment. Because the fuller your bladder becomes, trust me you won't
make it to that bathroom successfully without peeing on your pants.
Most times this happen to the kids and elderly but doesn't mean it can't happen to you.

~ ~> You could successfully get a Urinary tract infection (UTI)
This happened to my almost every time and I wondered where I had gone wrong.
There isn't many a woman who hasn't had this at least once in their lives. These infections occur when bacteria gains entry into the urinary tract and causes symptoms such as itching, frequent urge to urinate, pelvic pain, etc. I personally I've experienced this too.
And this is related with our discussion in a sense that holding your pee for too long may make your urinary become a nice habitat and breeding g place for these bacteria who could cause UTI. Wouldn't you want to stay safe?

~~> These bacteria aside causing UTI can also cause other effects such as pains, cramps. Fever.
~~>other internal organs may become damaged
~~>Your muscles may become clenched.
So next times you're pressed and there's available facility for you to use the bathroom, don't hold your pee... JUST GO!
Prior to this, other sever health consequences can occur.

Other useful tips:

When traveling or using a taxi and you know there isn't going to be room for you to pee on your way, do well to avoid taking alcohols, caffeine before and during the journey. These drinks are diuretic and can increase urine thereby increasing your urge to urinate.

------>Why I'm writing this article. <---------

I noticed I could work for a whole day without feeling pressed and not having to pee.
Sounds good right?
But, immediately I reached home and sited the door to my room each day I'm back, I feel like I've been saving pee for a months and I just drop my bags and whatever I came home with and rushed out inside to pee.
This happened every single day. I became curious and decided to make some research which led to my knowing that I had subconsciously or consciously taught myself of going into the habit of holding my pee and so could go around a whole day without peeing but on coming back to my comfort zone, I'll realised I needed to let go. Most times, the run isn't always successfull as I still pee in my pants. Other times, I'm just lucky.
After making this research, I've been able to assist myself break free from the habit of holding my pee for too long a time in other to stay healthy and happy.
Health first!

I’m sure all of us can relate. Lol. I hate having to go when I was pregnant. I would make it to my desk after a bathroom stop, and realize 5 mins later that I have to go again! The bathroom is on the other end of our building! Imagine a pregnant woman waddling and trying to “not go” in the middle of the corridor.

Lol. I imagine what you when through.
I'm sorry about those times although I know you came out of the situation whole.😃😃
