It might seem like a harmless habit, but there are a few important health concerns to consider — especially for women. Cystitis is
a common bacterial infection of the urinary system, and around 20% of women will experience it at least once in their lives. One reason,
it affects women more than men is anatomical: women have a shorter urethra, which means bacteria can reach the bladder more easily.
This is why hygiene matters — and why something as simple as urinating in the shower can pose a risk,
Cystitis can also be transmitted through contact with bodily fluids , so if you or your partner are urinating in the shower,
think about the shared surfaces and the potential for bacteria to spread. It’s not just about being,
“clean” — it’s about protecting your health.So next time you’re tempted, maybe just hold it. Your urinary tract will thank you. 🙃
