If You Urinate in the Shower, Be Careful, You Should Know That… 🚿
For many people, peeing in the shower feels harmless — it saves water, time, and even a trip to the toilet. But experts warn that this little habit may not be as innocent as it seems.
Your brain can get “trained” in strange ways. When you urinate while the water is running, your brain starts linking the sound of running water with the urge to pee. This means later, you might feel like you need to urinate whenever you wash dishes, brush your teeth, or even hear rain outside. Over time, this could lead to bladder control problems.
There’s also the hygiene factor. While urine is mostly sterile, it can still contain bacteria — especially if you have a urinary tract infection. In a warm, wet shower, those bacteria can spread to your feet or the shower floor, and possibly cause skin or fungal infections.
Some people are at higher risk — women with frequent UTIs, people with pelvic floor issues, and anyone with cuts or wounds on their feet should be extra careful.
💡 The safer choice? Use the toilet before stepping into the shower. If you must pee in the shower, make it a rare thing — not a daily habit.
It might seem like “no big deal,” but your bladder remembers everything. 🚫🚿
