or push too hard while you pee?

Answers:
It is possible, and it has killed people.

Other Answers:
Yes it is! Ask a urologist. As for damaging by pushing too hard, it's possible but not likely.

I don't think so. I believe I read somewhere that you'll just piss yourself long before your body will allow that to happen.

Holding in urine can cause bladder infection and enough of it can damage your kidney. To be good your organs, drink lots of water and go when your body tells you that you needs to go.

well it can eventually but it most likely would start with the bladder and then go to the kidneys. It would be a bladder infection and then if the bladder infection was not resolved it will lead to kidney infection, which can be fatal. If you must pee, please feel free!!!

Yup - it happens to truckers a fair amount.

Kidney stones too .... lots of fun stuff.

It is a much better idea just to pee.

Lets put it this way. Holding your urine can cause infections. Its a waste thats made to get out of our bodies. It can make you sick if you hold it to long..

hmm i heard that if you keep holding your urine then yes it can damage your kidneys but i dont know about pushing to hard
