For people who are always conscious about the environment, their answer is no while others feel like peeing in the shower saves the water that you would have used to flush the toilet. The choice is yours, however, we must consider the repercussions of this action. In this article, I’ll like to enlighten you about the dangers of peeing in the shower according to Healthline.
Why you shouldn’t pee in the shower
1. Your urine is not pure. Many people falsely believe that urine is sterile and pure, however, research shows that your urine can contain dozens of different types of bacteria including staphylococcus and streptococcus, which are associated with staph infections and strep throats respectively.
2. You may get reinfected. Healthy urine may contain a low amount of bacteria however this is not the case if you have urinary tract infections (UTI). Even though it is unlikely (rare) that you can get an infection if bacteria from your urine enter your body through cuts or wounds on the legs or feet.
3. Infections can be transmitted from the shower floor. It is very wrong to pee in the shower if you’re with someone else. You may not even know the other person has an infection or UTI. Infection-causing bacteria could be present in urine and you may contract something especially if you have a cut or wound on your leg or feet. Infections like MRSA can be transmitted via shower floor
