My doctor's told me it's good to hold it so you don't have to run to the bathroom all the time.

I believe my surgeon told me the same thing too. But after doing extensive research, I found out its not good to do that. We can get: blockages, hernias, overgrowth of bacteria, and among other things that can lead to other health conditions like permanent constipation. I only tell people about the info I found in the past, everything else is up to you though. I just say be careful; some things that are convenient are not always the right thing to do.
