Many women say *delaying micturition* has resulted in urinary tract infections.


Could anyone explain that?

Thanks

Micturition is urination, so delaying micturition is not emptying ones bladder when it neeeds to be emptied. I doubt you will ever see the word except in medical literature.

Thanks, Helen, but I had to look it up. I've learnd that Missdaredevil has a knack for coming up with words that I've never heard of. She's a real go-getter!

Aw now you've spoilt it - here I was thinking you were soooo wise.

Missdaredevil isn't the only go-getter here - I can name quite a few who come up with fantastic questions that make me think - A LOT!

I've missed it and am glad to be back

Yes, that's definitely true. It is probably that any student who hangs out in here on a regular basis is by definition very motivated. And also, the responders by definition have a great interest in English and helping others. It's why I find myself addicted to it. I've received countless smiles and a deepening of my own knowledge of English.
