Peeing in the shower might feel like a harmless, even efficient habit. After all, it\u2019s just you, some water,<\/p>\n
and a drain what could go wrong? But for women in particular, there are health risks that are often overlooked.<\/p>\n
One of the most common concerns is cystitis, a type of urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by bacteria entering the bladder.<\/p>\n
Around 20% of women experience it at least once, and for some, it becomes a recurring problem. Because the female <\/p>\n
urethra is much shorter than a male\u2019s, bacteria have a faster, easier route to the bladder, making women more vulnerable to these infections.<\/p>\n
What does this have to do with the shower? More than you might think. Urine can carry bacteria and when you pee in<\/p>\n
a shared space like a shower, those bacteria can settle on surfaces, even if you don\u2019t see them. If someone<\/p>\n
else steps in shortly after, or if you shower barefoot regularly, there\u2019s a risk of that bacteria spreading.<\/p>\n
If you or your partner make a habit of urinating in the shower, it might be time to reconsider. Good hygiene habits<\/p>\n
can go a long way in preventing unnecessary infections. A clean shower is one thing but a healthy urinary tract<\/p>\n
is another. So next time the urge strikes, you might want to hit pause. Your body and your bathroom will thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
