When traveling is not uncommon for someone to try to maximize their time to explore the places they visit, it excludes basic needs such as drinking and urinating. BSD's Internal Medicine Specialist & Travel Health Expert Eka Hospital, dr. Rudy Kurniawan said that such traveling habits should be changed.

Doctor Rudy said that drinking water is very important every day, including when traveling, especially in areas with summer. Lack of water intake can cause dehydration that can be fatal to the heart.

"If you are traveling in hot weather, yes, especially in Arabia, you have to drink water. The risk of dehydration can be dangerous for heart conditions, and others," said dr. Rudy Kurniawan when met in the Serpong area, Tangerang, on Tuesday, November 12, 2024.

The risk of urinary tract infection (ISK) also increases if you don't drink enough water while traveling. This condition can also get worse if the person likes to urinate while traveling.

The risk of urinary tract infection also increases. It's common for patients to go home (traveling) people who are holding urine, rarely drink, ( experiencing) urinary tract infection, that's dangerous," he explained.

Doctor Rudy said the habit of holding back urination during traveling was mostly carried out by women, for various reasons. He reminded that this should be changed immediately for the good and health of each body.

People (traveling) are lazy to urinate, especially women. They usually look for a more specific toilet, there is no bidet, hold it first because they have to pay," he concluded.
