Those who want a long life should never hold back an urge; doing so causes udavarta.

Detailed answer

Holding back urges makes provoked apana rise into udana. The text names seven kinds by the urge held back (flatus, urine, faeces, semen, vomiting, tears, sneezing), each with its own effects, and says all are treated with the treatment for vata disorders; neglected udavarta is said to kill quickly.
