Following is the transcript of the video:
You’re about an hour and a half into the movie and, boy, are you regretting that large soda. You can hold it... but should you?
Peeing is pretty important. Your kidneys filter excess water and waste out of your blood and that urine needs somewhere to go: your bladder. Normally, it’ll hold 1-2 cups comfortably. But if you make a habit of holding your pee for long periods of time, you can actually stretch your bladder to easily hold even more.
Case in point, one study found that nurses who often held it in all day due to job constraints had nearly double the normal bladder capacity! And they were totally fine.
But this doesn’t mean you should hold it in if you can help it. Because your bladder may not be the only thing to stretch.
You may also stretch your external sphincter muscles. Those are important muscles connected to the outside of your bladder that are the gate-keepers of your golden liquid. Clench them and you hold in the gold. Relax them and you release the flood! But if you overstretch them, you can actually lose control. This is rare, and usually takes decades of holding it too long to reach that point, but once you do, it can lead to some awkward or even dangerous situations.
For example, with less overall control, you risk leaking urine when your bladder is full and not emptying it all the way when you finally do go. Not only can this increase your need to urinate more often since your bladder fills up quicker, it can also lead to a serious disorder called urinary retention, where you end up with too much urine in your bladder for too long. And since your bladder is basically a warm, wet bag of body waste, it’s the PERFECT breeding ground for harmful bacteria that’ll cause all sorts of damage.
Even worse, if you’re really unlucky and retain too much urine, it may back up into your kidneys. Which could lead to kidney failure, and ultimately death.
The good news is that you’re more likely to just lose control of your muscles and pee waaaay before your bladder hits that point. But why not just reduce the risk all together and go to the bathroom?
Ok, ok, we get it. That movie is absolutely gripping. Luckily... You’ll be fine if you only hold it in for a short time, every once in a while. So go ahead, hang in there... just don’t make a habit of it.
Can you tell my teachers this, they won't listen

One time I actually held my bladder for 9 hours straight. We were on a really long car trip and it just made the trip a lot short with less rest stops. I didn’t know back then that this was a bad thing to do. At least as so as we got home, everyone got out of my way as I ran for the bathroom 😂
Holding it once or twice isn't bad thing. The bladder is free to stretch and contract but doing it for long can cause the gateway to stretch which is voluntary muscles tissue. That's the only part you can lose control over it. As for kidney failure stuff you gotta have other disease for this to happen
I did the same when I was 18 on a trip coming home from camping in the Sierra Nevada mountains back to Los Angeles. I knew it was going to be a doozy so I recorded it on audio cassette and timed it. It was a 4 minute and 21 second solid stream, plus about 2 extra minutes of squirting out small bits. I recorded it because my friends would have never believed the story nor thought that I could do a longer piss than from "The Naked Gun" and Adam Sandler's skit "The Longest Pee" ("They're All Gonna Laugh At You," 1993), which were both about 1 minute long. At the end, I said, "I feel relieved." I turned on the radio and it was the theme song to Sesame Street on the hip hop station. I said, "What the hell is going on here?" - Biff Tannen, Back To The Future 2.
ill die holding it in for 30 minutes ☠️
I will definitely not keep somehow holding it in during my sleep quite often now
Going at the same time as your group wouldnt make the trip longer
When your sleeping comfortable in bed and you just don’t want to get up.

Update: (I have left this comment under one of your KZhead shorts!) I have a stretched bladder. I didn't learn about this until 7th grade (now in 9th grade) although I have been doing this for now five years. As a victim, I am just here to tell others that it can be very painful when you have been doing it for maybe two years (I started at 10, but it left me with the most pain I ever felt at 12, even though I have never been pregnant before I would describe it as labor. That is how painful it was for me.) Now almost 15, I got into the habit of actually going when I feel like I have to. I initially started doing it out of pleasure (yes, you read that correctly.) and then it later got out of control. This is why teaching important things about our bodies at a young age is so vital. I didn't learn about any of this until I was 13-14 years old. I now have a very sensitive stretched bladder but fortunately it is not too late to get better. :) although irreversible, I can help myself before I kill myself with the amount of germs in my organs (it can kill you slowly over time, just to note.) This goes out to whoever may need this. Please protect your organs and God bless.

I remember once holding my pee for 4 hours after drinking over a liter and a half of water beforehand. I don’t know why I haven’t just stopped at a gas station or something but I insisted on making it home. My bladder felt like it was about to explode for a solid 30 minutes and any small movement of my body made it hurt like hell. But the worst part was when I had finally made it home and tried to get out of the car to go to the bathroom. I’ve spent 15 minutes to walk from my car to the bathroom. I couldn’t stand up right from the pain. Needless to say it was the longest peeing session of my life and the relief I felt was unmatched by anything else. That day I was really worried that my bladder would actually pop. I will never allow my self to reach that stage again.
Sexy Lol
I hold it all night and feel that way I’m really worried

Yeah i peed my pants wen i was little because they didnt let me go
People: holding in pee can lead to kidney failure Schools: i dont care
I know right, schools need more teaching of urine because it might cause death.
It's the teacher not school
Why is this so true like one time I was like teacher can I pee please Teacher: after our discussion after 1 hour later Or like hey random name can you be incharge while I'm gone don't let them stand , talk , move , drink WATER and pee or poop Also teacher: *comes back after 10 minutes*
Yeah 😫😫😫
@@iisxvagexd1680 yes they don't allow us to go ,, teachers even say to us ...Do here in the classroom ..they say like that ...that means my School teachers even don't think that school is a temple
You can end up having kidney failure on needing dialysis. When my mother was at the hospital I talked to a dialysis patient who told me that he did not like going to the bathroom unless it was his own and use to hold it all the time. He started to develop problems and was on dialysis now.
Damn, I've always thought it was the opposite. I thought your sphincter muscles were a "use it or lose it" thing, where you had to keep them active and practice holding it to get the muscle stronger, and if you just go right away every time you even kinda have to, you'd end up incontinent because your sphincter isn't getting enough exercise at holding it. I remember hearing an anecdote from someone that they spent years working on a farm, where they would just pee wherever anytime they had to go and would never hold it... and said that a result he lost his ability to hold it, and every time he has to pee now, it's an emergency. That made a lot of sense to me, as muscles need exercise and use to stay strong, or they atrophy. Now this tells me the opposite. I feel like if I trust it, I'll be told it's better to hold it years from now, when I'm incontinent.
It's probably a bit of both. I'm not sure if it'd be due to the muscles themselves or simply the side effects of habits, but I'm sure that if you always peed immediately and never got used to holding in your pee, it would have that effect. The important thing in life is to never go overboard with anything. Just listen to what your body tells you (as we evolved to do) and adjust for any known underlying medical conditions
I think you are correct; the stronger we are able to control our bladder muscles the better we are in. Avoid drinking too much caffeine; proper hygiene , especially female, etc
A midwife in the comments said to hold it in enough so that you don't piss too often. How often is too often is a good question, though
That means our teachers are trying to kill us!!!

As a nurse I can totally relate.
Oh yeah, I've read how often nurses end up holding their pee a lot during their shifts, to the point where "nurse's bladder" is an actual term some people use. What's the longest time you remember holding it, if you don't mind me asking?

I swear teachers want to see you soil/wet yourself during class, just so the rest of the class will make fun of you for the rest of the year.
Yep, but even students got habit to hold pee.
The bladder is not like a rigid container filling up like a tank, as shown in the animation. It is an elastic bag which shrinks or expands, and never contains air above the liquid.

“Surgical bladder” is a thing. We can’t just dash out whenever we want so we hold it for long periods. Sometimes up to 10 or 12 hours depending upon the surgical procedure. Speaking of surgery please don’t hold your urine for long periods on road trips because guess what ruptures first during an accident if you do? You got it and it’s because the seatbelt is usually placed right over the top.

Yeah, it's true. Everyone feels the urge to pee every day. But sometimes there are situations where we can't go to the toilet when we need to, if we are sitting in a vehicle or busy with work, or when your teacher doesn't let you go to the toilet. Sometimes we don't just get up and go whenever we feel like. It is okay to hold your pee, but not for so long that it can cause problems like urinary tract infection or kidney damage. If you need to hold your pee, then just make sure not to drink a lot of water. And also do not drink alcohol because alcohol produces even more urine than water does.
If I die from now being able to pee I’ll blame my teachers

wdym? like your bladder doesnt tell you when its full?
@@hazelnuteyes schools xd

My bladder told me "your hurting me"...I heard it talk to me....for real...scared the shit out of me for months. I felt so bad. Now I am much more cautious.
Same. I never peed in my school.
I got an urinary tract infection for holding it too long too frequently. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced up until that point. Never again.
me too .i holded for too long for 3 hrs and suffered with uti and bladder distension ,it happened 6 years ago, still iam facing bladder urinary contingency, its annoying getting knee pains for frequent visiting toilets and wasting lot of time in my office. my employees are getting annoyed too, i told them the problem. they go to toilets every 6 -7 hrs which is normal, where as i go to toilet every 1 hr or sometimes 3 hrs .i fear of urine stones ,so i drinks lots of water too. actually i developed ptsd after uti.because i had holded my urine voluntarily for 3 hrs due to fear of my strict lecturer and social phobia .my dad scolded me there's something wrong psycology in my brain due that i developed fear.
Me too I actually peed myself when I had a urinary tract infection, it was bad I even peed myself from holding it too long and sometimes first thing in the morning, I don’t make it, so I just pee in my pull up I can’t hold it at night which is why I wear pull-ups. I have several palsy which makes it incredibly difficult for me to hold it at night and I don’t physically feel when I have to urinate until it’s too late.
I hold my pee, not only because I'm in Healthcare but I also get physically ill if I see a dirty toilet 😢

Oh, that makes a lot of sense. I've known a few people that hold their pee because they'd rather not use dirty bathrooms. Never heard of any of them getting actually ill, but I'd imagine it's a rough time when you have to be out of the house for a long time. What's the longest yime you've had to hold your pee?
Just pee standing up lol
Fun fact: schools are legally required to let you go to the bathroom if you need to. They cannot control whether or not you can go. You have the right to use the bathroom, and you can literally walk out if you really need to. (Bathroom access is also a human right according to the 2015 UN General Assembly) Edit: I'm not suggesting you should just get up and leave whenever you want, you should always be courteous and try to work things out with the teacher if you need some form of special accommodation, I'm just saying if there's a sudden emergency then you shouldn't feel compelled to put your health at risk just for this
More people need to know this. Especially students and the teachers
My daughter walked out because the teacher told her others had abused the RR priveledge and didn't allow her to go to RR
We have a rule to go only like 2 or 3 times bruh
Doesn't America not follow the UN?
@T H A few minutes of class time usually doesn't equal a complete loss of understanding for a subject so people use the bathroom during class as they need to.

Useful information.
I have been holding in my pee since I was a really young because the potty training Elmo toilet traumatized my little self so I avoided using the bathroom. Even after learning how to use a regular toilet I still hold it in. I don’t even think about it now, I just do it. However holding in my pee for the majority of my life has affected me a lot. Lately I have had small accidents where I sneeze and my bladder lets go a bit and pee comes out. Luckily I have been in my house when these accidents happened but now that it’s happening more often I’m scared to have an accident when I’m outside….I’m less the 16 years old

I have a bathroom-associated social anxiety due to a dangerous, trsumatic experience that I had in a bathroom. When there are people nearby my body automatically goes into fight or flight mode and I am totally unable to relax my urinal sphincter. Imagine what kind of suffering it is to have this issue every time you go to pee. I have worked on it and has improved significantly over the years but I believe its so important to make this known, to let the world know about this issue. It is very common but people who suffer from this, suffer in secret because of shame

First by not holding your pee anymore. Just pee when you feel the need to go. And second, kegel exercises should help too. Do you hold your pee often?

Interesting! In some radiation treatments for prostate cancer, the patient is asked to have a full bladder for the daily treatments. Apparently this aids in preventing unintended harm to the bladder during treatments. How many times can you do this before the bladder/kidney could be harmed? Typical treatment might be 40 treatments over an 8 week span.

I think it's great to hold it in up to the point of where you can go to sleep at 23:00 and then wake up at 8 without having to pee in between. My blatter holds about 600-700ml now and it's the perfect size to me.
hold up
really depends on how much and how late you drink. The natives in the USA drank water late in the evening if they wanted to wake up early to go hunting.
Bit too specific haha
How are you measuring how much your bladder can hold. Are you peeing in a measuring jug lmao.

Some of you students do it because you want to cut class. I've seen it happen before. Staying in the bathroom for more than half of the class time.
Pamela Prade *teacher* I'll be right back be good. *students* I need to pee EVERYDAY
Pamela Prade I never said teachers cause all the problems in the world!!! Sometimes we don’t need to at lunchtime or whenever but we to in class, we cannot control when we need to go. I know not all teachers make the rules but I’m just saying it’s a ridiculous rule and in my school you only get one chance to go to the bathroom in 7 hours!! It’s extremely uncomfortable and we should just be allowed to use the bathroom when we need to (especially girls)
I’m already freaking out because i might have a bladder infection, this video just scared me straight man.
I always held it in as a kid. I was always busy doing something and found it so annoying to have to stop and go to the bathroom. I have adhd by the way. I could hold it in for hours, all day in fact. sometimes I wouldn’t go until the next day. I can’t imagine how much I was holding. at the age of 14/15 my bladder was weak and nearly every time I went to the bathroom it ached like hell. please don’t hold it in if you don’t have to. just go. It’s not worth it.
Is it bad that 😰😳I've peed my pants in class because I was too afraid 😣😳 I really needed to pee once, I was a shy student so I was afraid to ask, eventually I asked but the toilet was used 😰😖 I just stood there trying not to let go and relieve myself on the spot while I waited. 😱😰 when I couldn't hold it in anymore I started to pee 😳😳 I wet my school uniform🤭and the other students also found out that I peed myself it was very embarrassing😳😳😥..
@@sahrazalam4544 oh lord
@@sahrazalam4544 Oh goodness. No need to be shy, just ask the teacher. If you hold your urine, it isn't good for you. You can get urinary tract infection or kidney damage, but these things are rare. Good news is that you can no longer hold it in and then pee before any problems happen. The problems are rare, but it can happen.
I can't reduce this risk because my school doesn't let people go to the toilet. You HAVE to have a medical condition to go to the toilet called a "toilet pass"
thats stupid ;-;
Cristian Babencu yeah you can but the breaks are not long. They're like 30 min
Toxic74 if you are a boy then you dont need a toilet, just open your zip and let it go
30 min is plenty of time to take a piss.
Paco Ramirez yes, it is, but not when u only get 1-2 breaks per day. That's how stupid school is about it. You'll ask to go piss and they'll be like "should've gone at break time" when break was an hour and a half ago
I remember doing this once for two hours when i was 7, basically on christmas day after we left the church we instantly went to a hotel instead of going home which was two hours away and i held it in for the whole ride, i still remember going to pee when i reached the hotel and it was legit the best feeling in the world, i wish i could relive it again
I remember when I was a kid I used to hold in my poop all the time then one morning something happened to me and needed to go to hospital, they found out that my appendix was swollen like a beach ball or smth idk and I had to get operation to remove it, lesson learned
Wow great revelations but honestly if you want to relive that then just hold your pee in for about two hours then let it flow lol
@maskuty ya 😚
@@mrsugar7528 I used to hold poop for 7 days. Don't ask me how that is possible. I still don't know. One time the poop was too hard and occasionally blood will come but never got anything serious. I'm glad that I don't have to do any surgeries or go to the hospital. Poop not coming out is the worst feeling ever. You pray to god use as much force as possible and not too much because you are scared that you will let out blood.

I once held my pee for the majority of the two towers, lord of the rings. When the movie finished, and I went to pee, I stood there with a strong stream for close to a minute or more. To this day, I think that has affected my urinary retention. I have to constantly pee maybe 4-6 times in a work day. Maybe more depending how much I drink. Sometimes I’ll feel the urge after peeing 30 minutes ago. Feels uncomfortable if I do t go and relieve myself.
I just relieved myself right there😱😓Yeah I know that feeling I was dying to use the restroom 😰😳I've peed my pants in class because I was too afraid 😣😳 I really needed to pee once, I was a shy student so I was afraid to ask, eventually I asked but the toilet was used 😰😖 I just stood there trying not to let go and relieve myself on the spot while I waited. 😱😰 when I couldn't hold it in anymore I started to pee 😳😳 I wet my school uniform🤭and the other students also found out that I peed myself it was very embarrassing😳😳😥.
I need all my teachers to see this

F0TG2 SO TRUE
I need to do that
I have a question: i enjoy holding my pee, i don't just hold it, i make contractions too, now i feel like my urine doesn't completely come out . Doctor checked my bladder and said it's fine. Is it possible that my urine gets stuck in that last muscle?
Thanks so much
And *stay hydrated*
Yes
True
Lol bard.. so how do u pee when that tiny little friends of urs always pop out of nowhere..
It will make us go !
@@azrilazami4087 Who?
*Me telling my teacher* : If u don't let use the bathroom, i will hold in in. If i hold it in too much, i can bacteria disease then I will have completely no control of my bladder then it will back up to my kidneys and I'll die. Then you will get sued and fired, lose your job, be poor and lonely for the rest if your life just because you didn't let me use the bathroom:( Teacher: *...interesting*
Wow perfect
LMAO
No you cant go
Love ur name
My bias is jungkook i bet yours is too look at my prolfe picture
As a kid who holds in my pee a lot, I found this helping and will try not to hold it in too much now 😊❤
If the exit is a muscle how doesn't holding it in strengthen you ability to, muscles don't wear out from use they get stronger right?
Me: May I go to the bathroom Teacher: I don’t know, can you? Me: but I’ll get urine infection

This is not asking for permission this is a *W A R N I N G*
*you said may muahahahahshahah*
Absolutely, an old classmate destroyed his bladder because he refused to go to the toilet at school for years (the floor was constantly flooded with urine, kids shat in every surface inside including walls, toilet lids and upper deckers, the same kids that did all that would hand out in there all morning, etc).
Why was this recommended to me after I just peed from holding my pee in all night?? FBI is that you
bellabieber09 lol
FBI OPEN UP
FBI loves you
They care about you
Hahaha
Is there any remedy if effected by it
I realize this video is old, and im not sure if you guys have already made a video or answered it, however what about the opposite? What happens per say if you keep the muscles relaxed too long?
*Releases urine while watching video.*
Harambe Jr. "while watching"? How?
HYP3Ralex Is that even possible?
HYP3Ralex I know it but it's hard to believe that this guy did this by watching this video. Well, none of my business right?
Zubair Ahmed Hey pal, did you just blow in from stupid town?
Wow your lucky
As a teacher, I always let my kids go to the bathroom whenever the want. However, what you guys might not seem to realize, is that we teachers are also not able to go pee during class because we have to stay with students… you’re not alone in this struggle, we feel it too!
Okay but y’all can let them kids go to the restroom they don’t have to struggle with y’all
Valerie, you could all wear diapers during class
Wit all due respect, i have never had a teacher who didn't just go to the bathroom when they needer to
You could even just let the kids use the bathroom as many times as they want during a class without even asking you to go as long as they really need to go
Surely you can if you want to. Isn't it just a choice? I see teachers leaving the class often for things like retrieving materials they left in the staff room. Anyway, you shouldn't justify other teachers' actions since they don't even know if it's urgent for the student or not. At least the teachers can tell for themselves when it is.
That explains a lot. I literally don't know if I need to go to the bathroom until I begin to feel pain in my bladder, so that is probably why. 19 btw, don't do this to yourself if you can help it.
Every EMPLOYER needs to see this as many of us are not even given breaks.
True. Sometimes we are not given breaks, or sometimes we are busy and don’t have time to go to the toilet. That can happen.
95 percent of people will go to the bathroom after watching this lol
Ulrica Jansen van Nieuwenhuizen i did
I already went before this so..
Ulrica Jansen van Nieuwenhuizen I just did aaaaa felt much better excellent
Yup
Ulrica Jansen van Nieuwenhuizen I am part of the other 5 percent who didn’t
Once I held my pee in for all of Annabelle creation at the movie theater and straight after when I finally peed it felt like my pee went on forever
What when did Annabelle movie came out in the theaters
Ataur Rahman last year!
so true dude
bellabieber09 that happened once
Lol
I had to hold it for hours and there was no toilet nearby when I was with a girl and I felt something like a snap or sharp pain fairly higher than my bladder and had to excuse myself and find a spot, she noticed that it was urgent, but it didn't ruin the date. That was the most pain I have ever experienced from holding it in for long.
Most of the time I am busy . Whenever I feel like I have to pee, I always thought “yeah , just a bit longer , then I will move out “ But after watching your video , I am all aware Very helpful thank you
Years ago I was hospitalized because I was exhibiting symptoms of MS and my bladder stopped functioning. I had to wear a catheter and walked around with a big o’l bag of pee strapped to my leg. During my recovery I remember being in the hospital bathroom with my mom and attempted peeing - hearing that beautiful trickling sound sent both of us into tears of relief and happiness. Moral of the story, never take peeing for granted.
interesting...hope ur okay tho
Are you doing fine now?
The exact same thing happened to me after i had my first child. NOT FUN AT ALL. I remember opening up the faucet water because the sound of the water running was supposed helped me pee but it wouldn't come out. just a straight up nightmare. Hopefully you're okay now,!
Same thing happened to my classmate during high school... She always wear diapers and had extra in school
I got knee surgery and I couldn’t pee because of the effects of surgery and all the medication. So I also had to catheter and I did not like it lol. That first time your able to pee normally is the best feeling in the world. Like all your stress and worries go away and your morale just jumps from 0 to 1000
Ugh, everyone has been there. it's super stressful!!
nope
ikr
True,true
Right?
Yes it happened to me just last night when I was too scared to go in the bathroom while I was on my tablet cuz the hallway was dark XD
Bladder infections are also not fun. Especially when you develop "bladder crystals" that get stuck halfway down your urethra until the next time you have to go and so you're just waiting for the next time you have to pee just to push it out despite the pain that causes and hoping another doesn't get stuck behind the first one.
Because I was too lazy to use the toilet, I held it too often and it lead to bladder retention issues in high school and I even did potty schedules to keep my bladder empty because teachers wouldn't let you use the bathroom unless you had a pass. But you only got 3 passes per quarter. So I went between classes and then I had a sensitive bladder where I felt I had to go all the time. Drinking lots of water would trigger me to go a lot. I even tried bladder training and I gave up.Then after having two kids, I deal with bladder leakage off and on and pelvic floor muscles dysfunction. I have also gotten bladder spasms as well. I do use diapers.
I can hold it for long enough... *goes infront of toilet* _I can't hold it anymore!!_
CyberCloud YT relatable😂
This comment is underrated
Your weak
beautiful lovely you’re*
I had a nightmare a few days ago that I was holding my shit and when I went to the bathroom I flooded my pants. I woke up panic checking myself. That's a real nightmare
If your pee is the same shade of yellow shown in this video, you may want to seek medical attention.
What if it’s red
Surprisingly I knew this
Not necessarily medical attention, but you definitely need to drink more water. It’ll turn that color when you don’t drink enough water and there’s more contaminants (everything in soda) than water
@@Storm.999 you sure it’s pee?
@@Storm.999 Major sign of UTI. Is it painful?? I mean... Do u feel kinda burning sensation along with the red pee ??
I think the longest I held my urine was over 12 hours. I was a summer camp counselor, I specifically remember one morning I woke up and went at about 8am and then didn’t again until 9pm.
Oh my... that's a very long time. Were you busy or were there no bathrooms there? I'd assume you'd have been needing to go for hours if you waited that long...
The problem is you're not always near a bathroom when you need to go & sometimes you can't like when you're working or driving.
Well, yeah that's true. There are situations where we can't go to the toilet and need to hold it. We usually hold our pee while sitting in a vehicle. I think most people stop their vehicle and go to the toilet and then come back. Sometimes we are busy with work so we don't have time to go to the toilet, that happens.
But i am not allowed to go to the bathroom durning class😥
Same
Why ? In whitch heartless country do you live?
@@nbgforlive its common. Because teachers think they are above everyone else
chuck meister Over here in croatia, they dont trust us and they think that we wont go to the bathroom, they think that we will go outside and smoke...

I started doing this in 2nd grade because the bathrooms were nasty So I've been doing this for a few years. I have also noticed me changing and running low on underwear because of leakage. Im gonna guess I have a streched bladder. I hold it 7 hours every day out of habit. Sad isnt it? It doesn't necessarily hurts. More just like your bladder is racing for the gates but you close them and keep teasing your bladder by opening and closing you gates. It can also make you pee longer rather than just the 5 second wee. I've peed at least 10-12 seconds recently. Its because of all that stuff stored in your bladder, its whole family come and you gotta kick everyone outta the house. And that could take a while.
IMPORTANT QUESTION: How do you unstretch your bladder and that gatekeeper muscle???
