For men with slightly weaker sexual function, holding urine before sexual intercourse can increase pleasure. However, some people also say that stopping urine in a room can damage sexual function. What exactly is the right thing to do?

Some people cannot find convenient places due to driving. Some people play poker or chess very well and refuse to leave the battlefield It should be noted that frequent cessation of urine is not only harmful to health, but may also affect performance.
Hold your breath and give bacteria the opportunity to ride
The most direct harm of holding one's breath is to allow bacteria to ride organically. Under normal circumstances, there are bacteria in the lower segment of the urethra, which can be washed away during urination. Frequent cessation of urine can weaken its cleaning effect, increase bacteria, and cause various problems in the retrograde posterior urethra, bladder, and reproductive organs. Firstly, it can cause retrograde urinary tract infections, leading to severe cystitis and nephritis, and decreased function. Secondly, it may cause prostatitis. Prostatitis often has symptoms such as premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, and bloody semen, which affects the quality of sexual life and libido, brings huge psychological pressure to patients, and even affects male erectile function.
Male urination after rest after sexual activity
The viewpoint that urination after sexual activity helps to clean the urethra and avoid infection. This statement is reasonable. However, men and women must break up. For women, timely urination during sexual intercourse is a simple and effective way to prevent urinary tract infections. The female urethra is short and straight, and during sexual activity, bacteria from the external genitalia enter the urethra in a retrograde manner, which may cause urethritis, cystitis, etc.
But men should not rush to urinate after sexual activity, as it can damage the prostate. The male urethra is long and curved, the resistance of urine passing is large, and the time is long. The sexual life has just ended, the congestion of the penis cavernous body has not disappeared, the contraction of the urethral sphincter and detrusor has not disappeared, the resistance of the urethra is high, the urination is difficult, and the urine cannot come out. At this point, if you urinate hastily, your urethral pressure will increase. Urine containing bacteria and metabolic waste will flow back into the prostate. For a long time, prostatitis has been prone to occur. Experts suggest that it is best for men to rest for 5-10 minutes after ejaculation, and then urinate after the congestion disappears.
