One of the main harms is that the brain may begin to associate the sound of running water with the act of urinating. This neurological connection can be problematic in the long run, as it can trigger urges to urinate whenever you hear water, such as when you wash dishes, brush your teeth, or simply wash your hands.
Hygiene issues:
Although urine is sterile, if it is not cleaned properly, it can generate a buildup of waste in the shower. This, in turn, could generate bad odors and possible infections if the bathroom area is not properly cleaned. Although fresh urine is generally harmless, if mixed with soap and water, residue can stick to the drain or shower surface.
Risk of developing a bad habit:
By conditioning the brain with the sound of water, you could develop a bad habit that pushes you to urinate in any similar context, which is not healthy in the long run. Specialists warn that this type of conditioning can influence your ability to control the urge to urinate in other situations.
Psychological and social impact:
Some people may experience rejection or discomfort when urinating in the shower, as it can be seen as dirty or unhygienic behavior. In situations where you share a bathroom, this can generate conflicts or discomfort with others, affecting coexistence.
