Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The holding urine for a long time on a single occasion does not provoke major issues other than pain or discomfort.
When done on regular basis over a period of time, there are possibilities of getting
- Urine infection
- Calculus in the urinary system
- Bladder tone issues
- Back pressure changes over kidneys
- Others.
In a summary, it is not recommended in any busy schedules to hold urine for a long period of time on a regular basis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
