Did you know that peeing “just in case” actually can make you need to pee more frequently. Your bladder is designed to store urine which means when you empty it all the time, it can increase the urge to go.
We often educate patients on the importance of not going all the time. If you are waking up multiple times at night to go to the bathroom, try this tip. During the day when you feel the need to go, hold your pee for another 5 minutes or whatever you can manage. Over time your bladder will be able to store urine more effectively.
We have 2 pelvic floor therapists in Manitoba to help you with any of your pelvic floor needs and one in Calgary!
