With summer here, we tend to get more active and spend more time outdoors. This can be a challenge if you need to use the bathroom frequently, have overpowering urgency, or struggle with annoying bladder leaks. There is nothing worse than finding yourself in the middle of a golf course with no bathroom in sight, or out in nature where all you can think about is, “Where will I go if I have to pee?”
You don’t need to live like this. While these issues are common, they are not normal. They are a sign of possible dysfunction in your pelvic health, and you deserve to have this dysfunction treated.
Five things you likely didn’t know:
1. Both women and men can struggle with these challenges. Over time, your brain can become poorly “trained” to signal you when your bladder is not actually full. This incorrect signal can result in frequent bathroom trips and strong urgency.
2. Your brain, bladder muscle, and pelvic floor muscles should be coordinated and working together like great friends. They can fall out of sync as we age, after we have babies, or even after surgeries. It is possible to “re-educate” these old friends so they work like a team again.
3. A full bladder should take at least eight seconds to empty. If your stream lasts just a few seconds, you are receiving an incorrect signal. A healthy bladder should be emptied every two to four hours, depending on how much water you drink. A heavy hydrator would go every two hours, while someone more dehydrated might go every four hours. If you are going to the washroom every hour, you are getting incorrect signals.
4. If you want to get out there this summer without worrying about where the nearest bathroom is, if you want to go for long walks without bladder leaks, or if you want to spend a day at the beach without five trips to the public restroom, a complimentary consultation at UROSPOT is what you need. You will leave educated, empowered, and excited about the freedom and confidence available to you.
