Experts Determine Optimal Time for Urination, Warn of Health Risks

Experts from the Georgia Institute of Technology have established that it should take an average of 21 seconds to fully empty the bladder. Spending more or less time urinating could indicate underlying health issues. Holding in urine for too long can lead to bladder expansion and urinary tract infections. Conversely, frequent urination for short periods may signal an overactive bladder. Experts recommend avoiding waiting until urgently needing to urinate to prevent discomfort and potential health complications. Additionally, a recent case highlighted the dangers of holding urine for extended periods, emphasizing the importance of timely bathroom visits. Experts also caution against prolonged toilet sitting, which may contribute to various health problems. (Dailymail)
