Some will never admit it, but they probably did, knowingly or accidentally. The writing in the soul for many people has become a habit, but, in spite of everything, remains an unpleasant topic. Be careful, though, as the practice could end up causing serious health problems, according to gynecologist Teresa Irwin, whose comments were shared with the Mirror.
As she explained, peeing in the shower is not necessarily a bad thing. It may even be beneficial for women if done sparingly, as standing allows the bladder to empty completely as it is not limited to squatting or sitting movements. But if done too often, it can be harmful.

Beware of incontinence
Because by doing it systematically, the followers of this practice may well become ill with incontinence. According to the gynecologist, the brain may eventually associate the sound of running water with the need to urinate, so that every time the tap is turned on, even just to wash the dishes, it will feel the need to run to the toilet.
Also note that when urinating in the shower, the flow is likely to be slightly slower. But don’t panic, there’s nothing to worry about here. “It’s actually very good because it doesn’t make you get very tense and tense when you urinate forcefully”she concluded.
According to the health insurance website, at least 2.6 million people over the age of 65 suffer from urinary incontinence. It can also affect young people. Every day, the risk of urine leakage can increase with excessive fluid intake, caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco. But also when physical activity is disturbed.
For example, when mobility is reduced due to a physical or mental illness, or, conversely, when physical activity is intense. In particular, when the person concerned is involved in sports that cause repeated pressure on the perineum (weightlifting, marathon, trampolining…).
