There is no need to go to the toilet unless necessary.

Only at first glance such a habit may seem safe. In fact, it can negatively affect your health.

Physiotherapist Esther Stubbs made the statement in an interview with The Sun.

According to the doctor, there is a risk that incontinence will occur.

She compared the bladder to a storage tank that should only be emptied when it is full.

If the problem has already appeared, then you should not postpone a visit to the doctor. It is important to undergo an examination and then follow the recommendations of specialists.

In addition, Stubbs noted, you should avoid foods that will irritate the bladder.

The physiotherapist added alcoholic drinks and soda to the list. Citrus fruits and caffeine are also products that irritate the bladder mucosa.
