Many people wonder if it’s safe to hold your bladder when you feel the urge to urinate. Today’s health tip may help! Experts say that for most healthy people, holding your bladder occasionally is unlikely to cause harm. Problems arise when the urge to urinate is regularly ignored, which can strain the bladder and increase the risk of urinary tract infections. Responding normally to the body’s signals helps the bladder empty and reduces the chance for bacteria to grow. Some people should be especially attentive to these signals. Those more prone to infections, including older adults, may already have changes that affect urine flow, such as an enlarged prostate gland in men or narrowing of the urethra in women. People with kidney conditions, neurogenic bladder, or those who are pregnant may also face higher risk, as pregnancy places extra pressure on the bladder and can prevent it from emptying fully. If you find yourself needing the toilet unusually often, it may be worth discussing your situation with a healthcare professional.
Let’s have a laugh together listening to the joke of the day entitled, “To Be or Not To Be.”
Frequent flyer Chaz was booking an early-morning flight…
“Thank you for calling Skyline Air. I have two seats left: behind the bulkhead… or Shakespeare’s chair.”
“Shakespeare’s chair? Is that a premium section?”
“Not exactly, sir.”
“Alright… what is Shakespeare’s chair?”
“It’s seat 2B.”
?!
And now we have a heartline in Mongolian from Oyunaa in Mongolia
