The Urology Department at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles has clarified a common question: is it safe to pee in the shower? According to their experts, there’s little risk associated with this habit.
Urine flows directly into the drain and is quickly washed away by running water, leaving no lingering health concerns. While it’s long been common for men, doctors emphasize that women need not worry about muscle strain when urinating standing up in the shower.
However, researchers strongly caution against urinating in baths or hot tubs, as warm, stagnant water can harbor bacteria and fungi, creating potential health risks.
For those who multitask while singing in the shower, doctors assure that it’s generally safe—but keep it strictly to the shower.
