"Peegasm": the new sexual trend that worries doctors

Peegasm is the new female sexual practice of refraining from urinating to orgasm once you get relief. This practice is not without danger, however, and involves many risks for the bladder and kidneys.

Regularly, new trends appear on the internet, and this time it is a sexual practice, the peegasm. It is on the forum Reddit that was born this mode, following a message posted by a user of the site. He explains that his girlfriend told her that when she refrained from urinating for a long time, the young woman often experienced orgasms when going to the bathroom. In response to this message, some women say they have had similar experiences and others say they want to try, reports the site Medisite.

According to the IFL Science website, the physical sensation of well-being is due to the proximity of the clitoris and vagina of the urethra. The clitoris would then be stimulated when the neck of the bladder opens to allow a large flow of urine. But this practice represents some dangers.

Risks of urinary tract infections :

In fact, remembering to urinate too long and too often greatly increases the risk of suffering from urinary tract infections because of the bacteria that accumulate in the stagnant urine in the bladder. A urinary infection can then spread and damage the kidneys. IFL Science also points out that retaining large amounts of urine regularly can also weaken the bladder muscles and increase the risk of urinary retention as you age. Urinary retention is characterized by the impossibility of completely emptying the bladder despite envy. In the long term, the insertion of a urinary catheter may be necessary.

In 2016, Dr. Olivier Dumonceau, urologist, explained to Médiste: "For most people, you have to urinate once in the morning and once in the evening. It's wrong. The average should be every 3 hours but varies according to people. You have to go there as soon as you want to, otherwise you have to educate your bladder badly and you run the risk of urinary leakage ".

Practicing the peegasm therefore involves many dangers and is highly likely to damage the bladder and kidneys. A trend that would be to banish.
