- Recurrent UTIs
These symptoms should not simply be blamed on shower habits.
The Bottom Line
Peeing in the shower is not inherently dangerous for most healthy women, and there is no strong evidence that it directly causes infections or damages the pelvic floor.
The main concern is that doing it habitually may reinforce an association between running water and the urge to urinate, potentially worsening urgency in susceptible people.
If you occasionally pee in the shower and have no urinary symptoms, there is probably little reason
to worry.
