Nam Gyuri (former member of the K-pop group SeeYa) admitted on her YouTube channel that during hectic schedules she frequently delayed bathroom breaks, skipped sleep and meals, and later required hospitalization due to worsened kidney health. Medical experts explain that repeatedly holding urine can cause urinary tract infections and bladder inflammation, which may ascend to become acute pyelonephritis (kidney infection). Chronic retention and high bladder pressure can lead to hydronephrosis, damaging kidney tissue and potentially causing chronic kidney disease. Lack of sleep and irregular eating further strain kidneys by disrupting blood flow and electrolyte balance. Physicians recommend regular health checks, drinking about 1.5–2 liters of water daily to flush the urinary tract, promptly responding to the urge to urinate, and moderating salty or high-protein diets to reduce kidney workload.
