憋着不去上廁所會帶來何種結果大綱

When you've got to go, you've got to go. It's annoying and uncomfortable when you can't. On a train, for example. The toilet's in such a state you can't face going in. Or on a plane. Maybe a couple are awkwardly joining the Mile High Club and you're having some trouble. Or you've been stuck on a bus for 18 years. The driver won't let you off.

當你憋不住的時候，一定要去上廁所！但當你上不了廁所的時候，憋着會令人惱火、不舒服。比如，在火車上：廁所的狀況慘不忍睹，根本去不了。或者在飛機上：一對小夫妻正在空震，而你卻在這個時候想上廁所。或者你已經被困在車上長達18年，而司機就是不讓你下車。

It turns out holding on to go to the loo is also quite bad for your health. In most cases, it's nothing to worry about. But there a few reasons why you shouldn't wait too long.

結果表明，憋着不去上廁所實則對健康十分有害。大多數情況下，這的確不值得擔心，但以下這些原因解釋了爲什麼不能憋太久。

Burst bladder

膀胱"脹破"

Hugely unlikely. But if it happens, it's bad. When the bladder bursts, urine fills the abdomen, and emergency surgery is required. When this happens, your muscles that allow you to hold on weaken, and there's a greater chance of wetting yourself. It also makes going for a wee more difficult. In severe cases, a catheter might be needed.

雖然極不可能，但如果發生這種情況，就糟糕了。當膀胱脹破，尿液充滿腹部時，需要進行急診手術。發生這種情況時，憋尿的肌肉會變得鬆弛無力，從而更有可能尿褲子。這也可能使上廁所更爲困難。嚴重情況下，可能需要導管。

Infection

感染

Again, don't worry about this. It probably won't happen. But holding on too long does increase the chance of getting an infected urinary tract. It's called a UTI. It's down to bacteria. Studies show that holding your wee for too long can cause bacteria to build up and multiply. This can cause pain and stinging, and make your pee dark and strong smelling. If this happens, you'll need antibiotics. Go to the doctor.

再說一次，不用擔心這一點。這也不大可能發生。但憋得太久的確會增加感染泌尿道的機率，也就是所謂的尿路感染。這是由細菌侵襲引起的。研究表明，憋得太久會導致細菌滋生、繁殖。從而導致疼痛、刺痛感，使得小便顏色濃、味道烈。如發生這種情況，你需要服用抗生素。去看醫生吧。

Incontinence

失禁

This might happen eventually. But you don't want to speed up the process. Incontinence is simply not being able to hold your wee. It's caused by weakening pelvic floor muscles and a weak bladder. If you hold on too long, this speeds up the process.

人到終年可能都會小便失禁。但你並不希望加快這一進程吧。小便不受控制即屬於失禁。這是盆底肌肉變得鬆弛以及膀胱虛弱所致。如果憋尿太久，就會加速小便失禁的進程。

Kidney stones

腎結石

Bad news. Kidney stones form when waste products in the blood form crystals over time. Most kidney stones can be passed out in your wee. It hurts the bigger they are. In some cases, they'll be too big, and surgery is required.

壞消息。當廢棄物隨着時間的推移在血液中形成晶體時，腎結石就會形成。大多數的腎結石可以通過小便排出。但越大越痛。有時候腎結石非常大，這種情況就需要進行手術。
