Even if they feel the need to urinate, some people cannot do so properly in the bathroom. As time passes, instead of urine leaking out, the discomfort only gets worse. In this case, “acute urinary retention”, also called “urinary retention”, may be suspected.

Acute blockage of urine: why is it dangerous?
Acute urinary retention refers to a disease in which you cannot urinate at all even if you feel the urge to urinate. In general, the maximum amount of urine the bladder can hold is around 450-500 cc, but when urinary retention occurs, the bladder appears to be unable to urinate even if it exceeds its maximum capacity. As a result, the bladder swells more than normal, causing severe abdominal pain, and even if you barely urinate, you feel a strong sensation of residual urine.

Causes of acute urinary retention include impaired bladder detrusor function, urethral obstruction, urinary stones, prostatitis, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. In particular, the most common case is due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, and there are statistics from the Korea Urological Association showing that 68% of patients with acute urinary retention are caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. Also, the length of the urethra in men is 4 to 5 times longer than in women, so it is easy for urine production to be blocked, so it is more common in men than in women. Additionally, people with neurologica

Some people suffer from a constant feeling of hunger, which prompts them to overeat and causes many health and psychological problems, according to experts who spoke to the British newspaper “The Telegraph”.

One of the most important factors that leads to the desire to eat is an imbalance in the hormone ghrelin, known as the “hunger hormone,” the elevation of which leads to an urgent desire to eat.

In order for the brain to feel full, it must receive messages about it from the hormone leptin (known as the satiety hormone). In this regard, Giles Yu, an obesity expert and professor of molecular neuroendocrinology at the University of Cambridge, says that not feeling properly full after eating “is not an innate moral failure, but rather a hormonal contradiction.”

Another thing that leads to overeating, according to the Cleveland Clinic medical website, is psychological stress, as it prompts the body to produce cortisol, which increases appetite and leads to overeating.

In addition, cortisol increases the desire to eat foods high in sugar and fat, which may satisfy hunger but do not have much nutritional benefit.
