At my school, teachers didn't understand I had to go to the bathroom at least twice before lunch. The reason? I had fruit for breakfast. Every morning, at 7 a.m., my mom made a smoothie with orange juice, papaya, pineapple, yogurt, etc. So obviously, I had to pee, A LOT.
But I learned to hold it, because my old christian school's rules wouldn't let students go to the bathroom during classes. I was thinking about that this morning, while I was struggling to get up and go to the bathroom.
My mom has always said to me that I shouldn't hold it and she is right.
"What will eventually happen," says Cleveland Clinic urologist Dr. James Ulchaker, "is that you may leak some urine to lessen the bladder pressure. But you're not going to burst your bladder."
There are, as always, exceptions.
After you go to the bathroom, read this article "When you gotta go, you should: Holding it and holding it can lead to health consequences," posted in the webpage http://www.cleveland.com/.
