Are there any societies that ritually drink urine? Does urine have anti-bacterial qualities? Aphrodisiac?

generally, you oughtn't put anything into any bodily oraface unless it is specifically designed for that purpose, foods like bananas or carrots are notorious for changing your ph balance and causing yeast infections, and anything with any kind of grooves or porous / uneven surfaces can harbor bacteria that will up your chances of UTI's and infections.  You can head to websites that cater to sex toys and they'll give you tips.

Simple answer: YES.  I know of a restaurant where there are urinals in the girls bathroom.  It's a surprise for them to see one as they walk in, of course, but then a few actually use them.  It's faster than waiting in line!

Wow.  Must be love.  \n\nSome people practice it as alternative medicine.  \n\nWhen I feel the urge to drink piss, I simply crack open a Bud Light.

I used to have this urge for frequent urination. I was suggested to take supplement like saw palmetto and hoelen mushroom daily. I have been taking these supplements for a long period of time now and that my urge to go has been at bay ever since.

Drinking urine is a concept that is hard for most people to swallow, but its claimed healing abilities may make this ancient practice worth a try. From canker sores to cancer, there is nothing that its advocates claim it will not cure. Urine is said to be effective against the flu, the common cold, fever, broken bones, toothaches, dry skin, psoriasis and all other skin problems. It is said to deter aging and be helpful against AIDS, cancer, allergies, animal bites, asthma, heart disease, hypertension, burns, fatigue, infertility, baldness, insomnia, gangrene, chicken pox, tuberculosis, and a countless number of other diseases and disorders.\n    Urine may provide energy, maintain youth, and make skin and hair beautiful. With such wondrous properties, it is amazing that science developed new medicines when a key to good health was already in the bottle, so to speak. Everyone is a walking pharmacopoeia.\n    The first world conference on auto-urine therapy was held in February of 1996 in Panjim, India. It drew about 600 delegates from nations around the world. The numerous applications of urine were discussed, including use in nose-, ear-, and eye-drops, as well as ingestion and external massage application. \n    For thousands of years, several cultures included urine therapy, also known as uropathy or urotherapy, for all manners of disease and injury. Uropathy has been recorded in Egyptian medical texts and in ancient Chinese medical documents. The Aztec civilization also used urine to heal wounds while Hindu practices noted the benefits of drinking one’s own urine. Urine therapy may have been referenced in the Bible: “Drink waters from thy own cistern, flowing water from thy own well.” (Proverbs 5:15).

I don't know about the Romans, but in these modern times there are several products such as certain perfumes and make-ups that are made from pee. Use your search engine and you'll see what I mean.

Avoid diuretics (substances that make you go pee) like asparagus and coffee. Don't drink alcohol either.\n\nAnd if you REALLY must go, bring a container with you (although hopefully you can make a pit stop somewhere).

Good question\n\nThere are glands that produce a sweat-like substance during arousal, but not from urethra.  \n\nThere are also rare instances in which some women have reported a clear subtance that comes out of the urethra during orgasm similar to a male.  Most doctors attribute this to accidental urination.  \n\nMany "sexologists" and other fake science people claim that this is a normal, common thing and is caused by certain glands in the reproductive system, and that all women can achieve it with practice, etc.., but scientificlly, this is pretty much bunk.  \n\nThere is no good thorough scientific studies of the substances expelled or how they are produced, but most doctors think it's just a little accidental pee.

Bacteria living in the human body is basically good. They are considered normal flora (normal inhabitants ) of the human system like E.coli in the human colon which helps in degradation of waste & Lactobacillus which is in the woman's vagina that protects it form other bacteria that is harmful. BUT once these bacteria goes to a part of the body that is not their home (like E.coli that is transferred to the urethra) may cause harm. Like E.coli that causes the UTI. There are a few cultured drinks that has Lactobacillus for good digestion also. Hope this helps. God bless

There is anecdotal evidence that there is some benefit, but until there is a large-scale study in a reputable journal that confirms it, I would stay away.\n\nAs for the dangers, there is no bacteria in urine unless you have a urinary tract infection.  The kidneys and lymph system make darn sure of that.  The rest of urine is really made up of water, nitrogen-containing compounds resulting mostly from protein metabolism, and various electrolytes such as sodium, chlorine, and potassium.

Yes, you can have UTI without burning. The best way to rule out any other possibility is to get a CAT scan abd/ pelvis. This would tell you if you have any other abnormality including ovarian vs stone in the ureters. \nUTI or pyelonephritis could be diagnosed with Blood test looking for elevated WBC or by obtaining urinalysis.

The answer could be a yes or a no! Urine is sterile before it exits the body. As soon as it exits the body its not longer sterile because it has come into contact with bacteria from the unrinary tract and the vagina/penis (which normally have some bacteria residing in them weather harmful or not).

no, on the contrary... although i have never done it it is widely believed that thier are huge benefits in drinking urine\n\nDrinking urine is a concept that is hard for most people to swallow, but its claimed healing abilities may make this ancient practice worth a try. \n\nFrom canker sores to cancer, there is nothing that its advocates claim it will not cure.

Except in the case of a urinary tract or kidney infection, urine fresh from the urethra is sterile, devoid of any pathogens. Urine is 95 percent water, with less than five percent urea, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, hormones, proteins, antibodies, and other beneficial pharmacological agents. \n\nIn countries such as India, Thailand and China, it is considered normal by some groups to drink your own urine for health and cosmetic purposes. This health branch of drinking urine is considered to be labeled as Urine therapy. Also, an old method of teeth-whitening during the Renaissance involved the consumption of urine, though it needn't be, and wasn't always necessarily, that of the user.
