Experts say holding your pee can have dangerous health risks

Was thinking about this Saturday night. Drove up to Tahoe but an hour in the highway was closed due to accidents. Turned around and stopped for food an hour down the hill. Saw that the road was open again and headed back up. Was blowing sideways up there and by the time I got to the cabin it had been 5 hours and I was bursting at the seams. Last person at the cabin had hit the button lock on the front door (door was broken into by a bear last year and the doorknob on the new door has a silly privacy lock). So I'm standing in the snow, have to pee so badly I can taste it, and now I'm locked out until I find a needle to unlock the doorknob. Nearly just peed on the doorstep but finally found something in the glovebox to open the door. Peed for 5 minutes. Peed again 10 minutes later.
 
As a woman of a certain age who has birthed 3 children this isn’t even an option. Bladder says it’s go time and it’s go time.
A completely different topic. What's your opinion of VacationsToGo? It appears that site has great discounts.
 
Holding your poop occasionally is generally not harmful. However, consistently holding in bowel movements can lead to several negative consequences, including:

Constipation: Holding onto poop for extended periods can allow it to become dry and hard, making it difficult to pass.

Hemorrhoids: Straining to push out hard stool can put pressure on the veins in the anus, leading to swollen and painful hemorrhoids.

Fecal impaction: In severe cases, large and hard pieces of stool can become trapped in the rectum, causing severe pain, bloating, and even gastrointestinal perforation.

Fecal incontinence: Holding in poop too often can weaken the muscles that control bowel movements, leading to accidental leakage.

Increased risk of certain diseases: Studies have shown that chronic constipation may increase the risk of certain diseases, such as colon cancer and appendicitis.

Discomfort and bloating: Holding your poop can cause discomfort, bloating, and gas.

Recommendation: It is generally recommended to listen to your body and have a bowel movement when you feel the urge. If you need to hold your poop for a short period, try to do so for no more than a few hours. If you find yourself consistently holding in bowel movements, it is important to consult a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
 
article talks about dangers of holding it in but concludes “Experts say holding it in for up to a few hours a few times a week is not likely to cause harm.”
holding it in standard seems to be set pretty high…people in danger probably work as presidential butlers or snipers
 
Back in my restaurant days, there was a New Years Eve that I felt the urge to pee about ten ‘til 5:00. I didn’t actually have a chance to relieve myself until 1:30. 8 1/2 hours of needing to piss was one of the tougher nights I’ve ever had. When I finally go to the pisser, stage fright hit me and I stood there for at least 5 minutes before I could get going.
Today, I couldn’t hold it that long. My bladder would give up and I’d piss my pants. Still, I wouldn’t leave the line.

I only really know much about them on the cruise side. They pull group pricing soon after sailings are released so they tend to have pretty good prices. But I have no knowledge about any resorts they may offer
So, it is legit?

God made Pringles cans for a reason, you know.

2nd grade teacher made me piss myself in the middle of class.
Time to find out where that teacher lives (if still alive) and piss on his/her porch and car.

That happened to a classmate of mine too. I damn near pissed myself in 6th grade; I was holding on for dear life. Last 10 minutes of class were free since he finished his lesson but he still wouldn't let me go 🤬

Well the really embarrassing part of it was that I was attending my own kids parent teacher conference with her when it happened. 🙃
