Excellent advice. I was having a UTI every three weeks or so. After talking to my doctor who told me about incomplete bladder emptying, I became conscious of it. Gently pressing the bladder worked for me. It’s been five years since my last UTI. Urgency and “accidents” no more. From waking up to “go” four or five times a night, now one or none. I can enjoy a movie or a party or go to a restaurant without having to visit the bathroom. I’m 78 years old and feeling great. And it didn’t cost a dime! Thank you for sharing this great advice!
I’m 64. I was told this years and years ago by a specialist after I had a year of on off kidney infections. The bacteria that can form from not emptying the bladder fully can go back up to the kidneys. He said when you think you’ve finished, just sit and wait a few minutes longer. Give the bladder a chance to double void. I’ve done this ever since.
I can’t thank you enough for having this video on RUclips. It worked for me. I was looking at having surgery. I’m 100%now. Told my Dr about this video. Thanks again for making my life so much better. I definitely will continue to watch your channel. Blessings to you
i feel scammed that i didn’t learn that when i was potty trained. i think we all could benefit from learning the „basics“ professionally. that’s eating, peeing, walking, running, posture, sleeping, etc. somehow we are expected to know how things work, but we just manage somehow.
The double void! It has a name! I've done this for years. No one could tell me whether it's normal or not. Now I feel reassured! Very helpful information. Thankyou 😊
To stand up and suddenly need to sit back down and pee again is so embaraasing in public restrooms when folks are waiting for a stall, and at work when coworkers are right next to me! And those horrible automated flush toilets always manage to flush right when I am sitting back down. Aaack! 🥺 I will try all of these tips to end this embarrassment and discomfort!
I'm a 75 year old male with BPH and have been struggling for ages to both get a decent urine flow and emptying my bladder. You'll be pleased to know that following this advice has made a hell of a difference. Thanks so much from here in the UK. I shall mention this 'unmentionable' the next time I see my urologist.
@Oblique Parameter my pleasure! I am sorry to hear about your struggles & thanks so much for sharing and I'm so glad to know that this advise made a difference💜 Wishing you all the best for your recovery! 🙏 ❤️
I will try all of these immediately. I have great trouble emptying my bladder, and this is the first video I've found on the topic. For a year or so I actually had no control over my bladder and couldn't hold my urine. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and my doctors told me unfortunately the two weren't related so removing the tumor would not relieve the urinary incontinence. Well, they were wrong! They saved my life AND improved it greatly -- I haven't peed in my pants since surgery 2-1/2 years ago. Thank you so much for these ideas!
Great info…what’s fascinating to me is that I have actually been doing about 75% of the techniques you spoke about instinctually! Who new that I’ve been urinating proper;y???xoxoxo
I literally go to the bathroom at least twice an hour and if I have to hold it longer I feel like I’m going to burst! I’m always saying I have to “pee the rest of my pee” because it’s always there and never fully feels like it’s all coming out. Also I recently got checked and no UTI. I don’t want to go on medication. Most of these things I’ve already tried, but just tried the hula hoop movement and felt like it helped get more urine out! I will be continuing to try to things! Thank you so much!!!
I learned that pouring water (normal temperature) over the pubic area helps the surrounding nerves to contract the bladder too. Wait for the leftover pee to come out. It works. And don't hurry. It's healthy. Prevents bladder stone formation. So as not to miss out doing this, I mindfully carry a small bottle of water for this purpose. Luckily, I live in a country where even public toilets may have one cubicle, at least, with a bide. Very thankful for more explanations and techniques given here to take care of this very important function. These help a lot.
@Miss Best Wow, I'm so happy to hear that the information in the video was able to help you overcome your UTI and make a positive impact on your life. It's important to prioritize proper bladder emptying techniques to maintain good urinary tract health. Thank you for sharing your experience with me - all the best to you!❤️ 🙏
Thank you for this information-I've had UTIs for 65 years on and off. My last c section did a number on my bladder where it won't empty completely. I had the dilations over a period of time culminating in a urethrotomy-that made things way worse with more infections. I was told by one nurse to sit on the toilet backwards to aid in emptying-it is helpful but not always feasible. Thanks for these tips-I will definitely try them!
Why didn’t I know this earlier? I found your video a couple of hours ago looking for something completely different and started immediately and already notice an improvement. Thank you so much!
Wow. That’s the only way I can empty my bladder. I thought it was something wrong with me. I’m 72 and it all started when I had my 2th operation on my back 25 years ago. Thank u so much
Hmmm.....I had the same issue (not emptying my bladder completely). I recently found d out that there are nerves in your lower back area that can get caught in between the spinal discs that can cause a variety of issues, one being bladder incontinence. I've noticed that being true in my case. Whenever I go through lower backaches, I get this incontinence and once I resolve my backache the incontinence goes away. Maybe your back surgery is causing your bladder issue.
The best way to empty your bladder and also number 2 is to use a Turkish toilet, for people that don't know it's just a hole made out of ceramic and you sit over it in the squatting position, much much better than a conventional western toilet to empty your self, and it's more hygienic as well because when men stand up to empty their bladder you can't see it completely but spray goes everywhere not only into the toilet, we did a test and we couldn't smell urine after sitting down to urinate as men after a week. Great video some great suggestions Thankyou.
Goodness - such common sense helpfulness! I often have the feeling that I am pushing too much to get the last squirts out but also otherwise sometimes have to pee (sorry, empty!) again about 5 mins later. This video puts my mind at rest. Had mentioned it to a doctor about 3 years ago and got a blank look back!
Yeah this video helped me to realize maybe I do not have as big of a problem as I always thought I did... Because I often "double void," without knowing it and my frequency issues are probably from rushing and not completely emptying.... I have ADHD and am often rushing off to my next adventure (in my mind) before I finish voiding....
I've been looking everywhere for advice on this (everything was always about incontinence). This video is wonderful; you've saved me hundred$ in PT bills.
Thank you so much im crying from 4 day i have to used bathroom every after 5 minutes but after watching you video i do same and it work for me . Thank you so much . ❤❤❤
@ocean friend you're most welcome! Thank you for your comment! I'm really glad that the video was helpful to you and that you found relief from your symptoms. All the best to you! 🙏
Very useful information indeed. Most of us are in a hurry to empty our bladder which is the root cause of major urinary tract problems. Our own Ayurveda suggests to sit , meaning to use Orissa pan commode instead of European seat. Avoid drinking any liquid while standing and never drink water immediately after urination. Last but very important pass urine just before taking a bath. 🙏🙏
Thank you for this video. I have struggled with this issue most of my life. I tried your information and it has been a very successful experience. You are so appreciated 💛
@Honey You are so welcome! I am sorry to hear about your struggle and so glad this helps you! Many thanks to you- I really do appreciate your positive feedback and support. All the best!🙏 ❤️
It worked! Thank you so much. I have chronic urinary retention, and am currently being treated for a stubborn UTI that got into my kidneys. I am going to start doing this regularly.
Night time WAS an issue for me. I tried everything. Then I realized.....I pee too Much during the day because I am constantly hydrating and it was just convenient to keep going to the bathroom. So, I started holding my urine a little bit longer during the day until I really HAD to go. It works! It's a passive exercise in itself. I never had a full nights sleep until I started doing this. I would get up almost exactly every 1:45 minutes. Now I only get up once, if at All!
@@leachridlah1927 Try what I did. They wanted to give me meds. NO! I'm doing much better. I slept last night for 4 hours before having to get up and roll back over. I'll take it! I hope you find relief ☺️✌️
It's the same for me, I'm almost always thirsty and have to go to the toilet very frequently but I don't have diabetes or any diseases, I don't know what to do
@@roselynnwood4657 It's been almost a year now! Only once a night. I can live with that. I'm always thirsty too because I live in hot climate. So, I drink a Lot of water. A LOT. I still exercise the control during the day. And I shut the faucet off at dinner! Please Don't drink tea before bed. There's other ways to relax. Sweet Dreams ~M 🦋
Thank you!! I have had problems with my bladder for 40 years. I am now on water tablets which really help alot. DON'T mess about get help if you feel you need it!!!!
Thanks so much for your video. I have one more thing to add. After a number of UTIs, my urologist told me to place both hands on my lower abdomen, lock my fingers together and gently press down. Also not to lean over, as a woman that has had a number of children, may have a forward tilted badder. of course not completely emptying the badder can cause UTIs, which I was unaware can actually kill you. (Recently a Charlie’s Angel star died from an UTI). Thanks again for your informing video.
Thanks very much. Really helpful to do all these tips. I also did some breathing because I found I was tense and holding my breath. The deep breathing helped the last bit to empty.
I am so glad to come across your channel. I have figured out for myself the tips you talked about. I do strain, I won't lie about it. I didn't know about doing damage to my bladder. I hope I found your channel in the nick of time.😁
20 yrs ago I had a hysterectomy and the RN didn't completely deflate the balloon before taking out my catheter. She sent me home even though I couldn't pee. 4 days later I was in so much pain. The doctor who did my surgery put in another catheter and drain over 2 liters of urine. He said my bladder was the size of a 5 or 6 month pregnancy and could have been life threatening. But to this day, I have issues with urinating. I'm going to try these tips, thank you.
Don't know if all these tips work for everyone (cause I don't sit when I pee) but I've certainly pushed on my bladder like you showed while standing at the urinal and it helps a ton.
Fascinating advice. I overfilled my bladder on a long drive in the country and have lived with overactive bladder ever since. I would estimate I had about 1.5 litres of fluid in my bladder at the time. I have tried all the medications, urethra dialation, Botox and now have a Sacral Nerve stimulator Implant. I have to take sedatives to sleep because my bladder is so active. One incident has changed my life drastically.
@Ri Maci thanks so much for sharing your experience. Unfortunately many people are unaware it can take just one episode of overfilling the bladder. All the best to you!
@@privatel_real thank you. Unfortunately when you have overactive bladder, you have it for life. I hope they discover a new medication or therapy for it as I have tried everything.
Had a holististic Dr to place a small plastic squeezable ball right at the end of your knees, at the bend of the legs, while seated on commode as you indicated, then squeeze the knees toether as tightly possible, hard as you can (no using hands to help) for 45 seconds to a minute; then remove ball and resume forward relaxed position again, and wait. The bladder will shortly release every last drop that is there. The squeeze ball size is relative to the length of the legs. Shorter legs will use a small sport ball, while basketball players may just use that. Its the pressure of the right angle/width; and the stretching of the hips, that allows some how the bladder to let go of the rest . But it does work. And what wonderful feeling. Hope this helps. gal
Thank you so much, as someone who has a uterine stent in place for kidney stones, im continuously having UTIs, doctor told me yesterday to double void. But i also have been in agony with a trapped stone in the urethra, today i have had trouble releasing urine, your technique caused my stone to shift and allow me to urinate!
Hi Shabir - great to hear from you! Yes after a holiday break we're back for the year . We are in complete lockdown at the moment so its a good time to be getting some new content for the year. I hope you are keeping well, stay safe
Hello mam Can you please make a video for varicose veins and weight loss intended exercise precautions to be taken when patient is suffering from varicose veins
@@michellephysio Repent , jesus christ is coming back , pray and read your bible ask him for guidance, there is nothing out there in the world , if you have any questions please ask me.
Thank you so much! As a person with multiple sclerosis, this is a technique that is very important to know! One other thing I have found that helps me personally, is if I take the toilet paper in my hand before voiding. It “signals” something in my brain! Thanks again for an informative video!
@shelliemiller5443 you're most welcome! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I'm glad you found the technique helpful. Wish you all the best!🙏
I"m a 72 year old male with BPH. I do a lot of these things already. I haven't tried standing up and rotating hips. I have to pee about once an hour, and each time it's only 100-125 ml. I don't think i ever completely empty my bladder. I'm on Flomax, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. The positive aspect is that I get a good abdominal workout with every void, trying to push it all out.
Thank you so much for the video. I have a uti for the last 2 weeks and feeling miserable as it is not responding to antibiotics. I have been knocking glasses of water to try to flush it out but I see from your tips that is not the best thing for any bladder. I had noticed that the fuller my bladder is, the more difficult it is to empty it, I thought it was just me. I have some retention anyway due to the uti so I will follow your tips so I don't do more harm than good, thanks again
What's interesting is that I did not know I wasn't emptying completely until I had to have an ultrasound. They had me drink a brunch of water and wait. They did their ultrasound and then had me go to the bathroom so they could continue the next part of the ultrasound. They had me come back and said my bladder was still pretty full although they knew I went to the bathroom right off the room from their testing area. I can move around and still leak out after going to the bathroom and yet, I wake up every 2 hours every night, all night long and never get to sleep more than that at a time. It's quite frustrating and no one ever gave me an option other than taking medication for it. I'm so tired and never sleep well because of it... Medication is not the answer and I won't do that! I will try and do the things you suggest. Thank you.
Same here, I'm 19 and got a year long medication. I haven't started yet because school is busy and some of the common side effects can be troublesome....but honestly if physiotherapy doesn't help I don't even mind taking pills. I just want to function normally and sleep.
I was told 2 years ago that I would have to self-catheterize myself, but decided to look further into a healthier method. I realized that squatting to the floor such as in a bathtub made the experience less painful and I didn’t have to void more than 2 times per session. So I bought a bedpan on Amazon and used that to squat to the floor and pee over it and then I dump the waste into the toilet. I sometimes have to use the tap over bladder method even when squatting but this position prevents me from straining causing more inflammation. Sure my knees and ankles had to get use to it and it was uncomfortable at first but I persevered. I had to get used to being in that position, but it saved me so much money from not having to depend on urethral dilation procedures and catheters and even more evasive procedures. I am so thankful I discovered this method because when you’re told there isn’t any other option besides medication and procedures and you’re told to just relax when it’s too painful to simply relax can be triggering, or you don’t have the money to see a pelvic therapist, this does wonders for anymore who needs more than the methods in this video. I am not dissing the video because it is informative, but I noticed the comments below and wanted to share my experience because I have suffered from urethral stricture for over 20 years as well as bladder inflammation (interstitial cystitis) and chronic urethral inflammation. I managed to improve over time by self-advocating for myself than masking my issues. I hope this helps anyone who isn’t getting answers and feels hopeless. Sure I still void 2-3 times depending if I triggered my bladder spasms through stress and diet, but knowing I can use a bedpan bc I don’t have access to an Indian toilet definitely helps relieve symptoms.
Fantastic information thanks so much for sharing this Rachel. You've possiby avoided a whole lot more pain with potential bladder infections from self cath especially in view of you IC by managing yourself. All the best to you and thank you for your great comment!
@@michellephysio 100% I did! Thanks for your response! Again, thanks for your video in shedding some good advice on how to relax and void better! I just wanted those in pain to know there are other ways to relax a little better if you can’t on a western toilet. 😉
Amitriptyline was prescribed for me with this condition. It was initially prescribed for fybromyalgia, but it helped enormously with the interstitial cystitis, which has now been renamed chronic bladder pain as there is not any cystitis present. Best ewishes
@Anakha Ajith my pleasure & thank you, it makes my day to read this. I'm happy to know that you're having a good sleep. God bless you too & stay safe! 🙏 ❤️
Thanks for these tips, very helpful! I have had this problem for a few months now! I talked with my dr about it last month and she told about the double void, but you give a great tip about the position and to press down gently! I will try those as well! Love your accent! Thank you so much!
@Ann Parham my pleasure! Thank you for your lovely comment. I'm really so glad that I've been able to help you and I really do appreciate you taking the time to let me know, I'm most grateful indeed Ann. Wishing you all the best for your future health and happiness🙏 ❤️
I have seen few of your videos sent to me by my sister. Loved how you explain and it is very useful information. While exercising jumping Jacks or skipping, I leak and it is not graceful. Also, I feel the urge of going to toilet quite frequently, sometimes only for couple of drops. It is getting frustrating. Your legal exercise video is very helpful. I had been doing pelvic floor exercises, but not very diligently. Thank you.
I will try the sitting position. I wake three to four times per night. Interrupts my sleep terribly. Bravura I feel I’m not totally emptying the bladder each time I hope your technique works! Greetings from Los Angeles
I have the issue to empty my bladder. It’s been 5 years. I keep pushing and pushing but little comes out. I spend 15+ minutes in the bathroom. The feeling of peeing just doesn’t go away… every time I get up, there is little more that I have to push out. I knew I was hurting my urethra by pushing so much. Recently got an ultrasound and everything looks fine. Urine test looks ok too. I’ll try your method.
I feel really out of place with this problem, I’ve never met anyone my age with it, I’m 18 and this past months I’ve realized I can’t fully empty my bladder, I’ll try this and i hope it helps because it’s honestly annoying and after knowing more of its consequences it’s scary tbh
Interesting site and information . Ive worked in a hospital in a continuing care unit , we always used the tap method , worked everytime . For the people who suffer from UTI'S ,,, we gave cranberry juice to those that had utis as well as their medication ... theres a property in cranberry juice that helps keep uti' s away ...
As a medical professional kegels (pelvic floor exercises), drinking plenty water and not holding ur bladder can help tremendously, you can try her methods but if u feel pressure or urinary frequency (urgent need to go to the bathroom) or this is always a problem with please visit a doctor or urologist. Don't let these social media MD's have u suffering from a UTI or kidney infection
I get so many UTI’s in this last year. I’ve been recently diagnosed with neurogenic bladder and had an episode where I couldn’t pee at all and needed a catheter because I was about to burst quite literally they drained almost 2 litres immediately. I have never experienced so much pain from not being able to pee so now I’m really conscious of trying to pee but often times I really have to push hard almost like what I imagine it’s like to push in labour to have a baby! Then I also get bladder pain that’s worsened after peeing along with higher urgency to pee which then settles after a while then the whole cycle repeats itself. A permanent catheter is likely in my future and that terrifies me😩
Hi ember could you plz explain neurogenic bladder. I don’t have issues with urination. Or leakage. My recent issue has been frequency and urgency, which comes and goes. But I have no incontinence. Does that sound like NB?
Hi @ember I'm so sorry you're going through this. Have you tried taking a d-mannose supplement that has cranberry juice, Olive and probiotics in it? Also, colloidal silver may help, too!
I am so glad you made this video. When my urologist told me that I've not been emptying my bladder and it's the reason I had been getting UTIs, I had no idea what he was saying. I tried to do how I thought he explained it bit still got an infection. I JUST watched your video, did it along with you and was surprised at how I was able to double void correctly! I'm excited about this because now I believe I may be on the road to a normal life. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
For years and years I've known to stay on the toilet even after I thought I was done. There is always more. Even during the night when I wake up to go to the bathroom I sit in the darkness waiting for the 'second' pee. If I don't do this, as soon as I get back into bed I will have to get back up and go to the toilet.
Stop this is the same with me, I’ll go , wash my hand and I’m leaving the bathroom and I have to go again and sometimes it’s not even a full pee it’s only a tiny bit.
I hate sitting on the toilet so I tend to strain and rush. After watching your video I am going to make an effort to relax and use your techniques. Thank you.
Thanks for this, years ago when I was on diuretics and I was so constantly going to the bathroom that I ended up not being able to leave the house, I mentioned this to the doctor who instructed me to leave going as long as possible to stretch my bladder. I quit the diuretics instead as I also believed they were doing me harm in other ways. Incidentally, I did have to be catheterized a couple of times way before this, both times after surgery. In view of the current situation I am doing everything I can to stay away from the hospital and the rest. Thanks for the advice.
You popped up tonight. Good advice but please refine for neuromuscular disease. Have stress and urge incontinence and limited walking ability in public so I do preventative void as if getting a ways from last mestinon dose things get difficult
Urine and waste just falls out. To the last drop. Every time. Sit down, clasp both hands over a knee, lean straight-backed with head furthest back (near to toppling backwards). Consciously relax everything for a minute. Gravity does the rest through straight-line exhaust pipes. You'll get full nights comfortable sleep.
Such well presented video. Here's an idea that I also find helpful. You know how if you feel like you need to sneeze and can't so you look at the sun or a bright light then you sneeze.....well I find that if I can't start to pee, I stair at a shiny chrome object in my bathroom. It really works.
@Debbie Stauter my pleasure and great privilege to help indeed 🙏. Thank you so much for commenting, and lovely to hear from you again. All the best to you! 🙏
Thanks for this video. Been having retention issues since last year September and it’s really annoying cause urine at times sips out also, my bladder is always full even after going. Thank you
Such great advice. I will definitely try these out. I deal with this, but also stress urinary incontinence, so it's a double whammy for me. I found that I was leaking even after I just used the restroom and found out that I don't always completely empty my bladder. And when I do I still leak when I laugh, sneeze, or even sit in a posterior pelvic tilt position..I am not sure the kegals are helping though
Thank you for this , my bladder nurse said after scanning my bladder then going to the toilet after canning again there's More in my bladder then before. Thank you for showing me this
@@michellephysio Sorry to bother you again Michelle, but my main problem is not being able to wee fully after I start: I go a little, then stop until I’m able to do more. This happens several times at one sitting so to speak and it concerns me quite a lot. Could you kindly advise me about what to do from here? Thank you so very much indeed
After my regular pee, I remain seated, contract my pelvic floor and I find there will be more urine released. I take my time, keep contacting my pelvic floor every 30 seconds or so, until no more pee is released. It does mean staying on the toilet longer than usual but I do empty my bladder.
Great video. I was having issues with not emptying and figured out that changing positions while voiding helped. Seeing a professional talk about it has helped affirm what I have seen work for me. Can cystoceles be part of the problem for some?
@sewquest Yes definitely, cystocele can be part of the issue for some women with bladder emptying issues, especially if the bladder moves backward into the vaginal wall or if the urine tube becomes kinked. Great question, thank you!💖
Excellent advice. I was having a UTI every three weeks or so. After talking to my doctor who told me about incomplete bladder emptying, I became conscious of it. Gently pressing the bladder worked for me. It’s been five years since my last UTI. Urgency and “accidents” no more. From waking up to “go” four or five times a night, now one or none. I can enjoy a movie or a party or go to a restaurant without having to visit the bathroom. I’m 78 years old and feeling great. And it didn’t cost a dime! Thank you for sharing this great advice!

You can also spell words backwards, count backwards by a multiple, list kinds of flowers, fruits, animals, etc. This has always helped me.
Wow. That’s the only way I can empty my bladder. I thought it was something wrong with me. I’m 72 and it all started when I had my 2th operation on my back 25 years ago. Thank u so much
Hi Maria sounds as though you’re well on track and you are definitely not alone, always know that. All the best to you!
Hmmm.....I had the same issue (not emptying my bladder completely). I recently found d out that there are nerves in your lower back area that can get caught in between the spinal discs that can cause a variety of issues, one being bladder incontinence. I've noticed that being true in my case. Whenever I go through lower backaches, I get this incontinence and once I resolve my backache the incontinence goes away. Maybe your back surgery is causing your bladder issue.
Hello..may I ask when to press the bladder..is it during or after peeing??
So good to get advice about this. Nobody ever talks about it.
The best way to empty your bladder and also number 2 is to use a Turkish toilet, for people that don't know it's just a hole made out of ceramic and you sit over it in the squatting position, much much better than a conventional western toilet to empty your self, and it's more hygienic as well because when men stand up to empty their bladder you can't see it completely but spray goes everywhere not only into the toilet, we did a test and we couldn't smell urine after sitting down to urinate as men after a week. Great video some great suggestions Thankyou.
Goodness - such common sense helpfulness! I often have the feeling that I am pushing too much to get the last squirts out but also otherwise sometimes have to pee (sorry, empty!) again about 5 mins later. This video puts my mind at rest. Had
mentioned it to a doctor about 3 years ago and got a blank look back!
Why did he give ye back a blank look??
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius She didn't know what I was on about!
Yeah this video helped me to realize maybe I do not have as big of a problem as I always thought I did...
Because I often "double void," without knowing it and my frequency issues are probably from rushing and not completely emptying....
I have ADHD and am often rushing off to my next adventure (in my mind) before I finish voiding....
I've been looking everywhere for advice on this (everything was always about incontinence). This video is wonderful; you've saved me hundred$ in PT bills.

@ocean friend you're most welcome! Thank you for your comment! I'm really glad that the video was helpful to you and that you found relief from your symptoms. All the best to you! 🙏
Very useful information indeed. Most of us are in a hurry to empty our bladder which is the root cause of major urinary tract problems. Our own Ayurveda suggests to sit , meaning to use Orissa pan commode instead of European seat. Avoid drinking any liquid while standing and never drink water immediately after urination. Last but very important pass urine just before taking a bath.

@Elmi Friends my pleasure, thanks so much for your feedback 🙏
Night time WAS an issue for me. I tried everything. Then I realized.....I pee too Much during the day because I am constantly hydrating and it was just convenient to keep going to the bathroom. So, I started holding my urine a little bit longer during the day until I really HAD to go. It works! It's a passive exercise in itself. I never had a full nights sleep until I started doing this. I would get up almost exactly every 1:45 minutes. Now I only get up once, if at All!

@@roselynnwood4657 It's been almost a year now! Only once a night. I can live with that. I'm always thirsty too because I live in hot climate. So, I drink a Lot of water. A LOT.

YOU say to contract Pelvic Floor, should it be done during Peeing or Before Peeing??
Thank you!! I have had problems with my bladder for 40 years. I am now on water tablets which really help alot. DON'T mess about get help if you feel you need it!!!!
Thanks so much for your video. I have one more thing to add. After a number of UTIs, my urologist told me to place both hands on my lower abdomen, lock my fingers together and gently press down. Also not to lean over, as a woman that has had a number of children, may have a forward tilted badder. of course not completely emptying the badder can cause UTIs, which I was unaware can actually kill you. (Recently a Charlie’s Angel star died from an UTI). Thanks again for your informing video.
Yes, UTI's can, and often do, lead to Sepsis!!#YIKES.
Thanks very much. Really helpful to do all these tips. I also did some breathing because I found I was tense and holding my breath. The deep breathing helped the last bit to empty.
@Frances Swanepoel You’re most welcome Frances - I’m glad this helps you! Thanks so much for your feedback💓
I am so glad to come across your channel. I have figured out for myself the tips you talked about. I do strain, I won't lie about it. I didn't know about doing damage to my bladder. I hope I found your channel in the nick of time.😁
I strain also, just to get it all out. You're not alone!
20 yrs ago I had a hysterectomy and the RN didn't completely deflate the balloon before taking out my catheter. She sent me home even though I couldn't pee. 4 days later I was in so much pain. The doctor who did my surgery put in another catheter and drain over 2 liters of urine. He said my bladder was the size of a 5 or 6 month pregnancy and could have been life threatening. But to this day, I have issues with urinating. I'm going to try these tips, thank you.
How are you now ?
@manifest9726 Ive have a hard time completely emptying ever since.
@@msjr1765 right now you are using catheter for emptying urine ?
Don't know if all these tips work for everyone (cause I don't sit when I pee) but I've certainly pushed on my bladder like you showed while standing at the urinal and it helps a ton.
As a male, you can sit and pee you know.😊
Many cultures do and I imagine bladder pressing would be easier.
@@patriciamccaskill6472 I mean, I know I can. I just said that I don't, lol.
Hello..may i ask..are pressing you bladder while still peeing or after?
@@shancereinemariano8663 mainly after to get the last bit out, or in the beginning if it doesn't start right away
Sit. Its better for you plus doesn’t make a fuckn mess
Fascinating advice. I overfilled my bladder on a long drive in the country and have lived with overactive bladder ever since. I would estimate I had about 1.5 litres of fluid in my bladder at the time. I have tried all the medications, urethra dialation, Botox and now have a Sacral Nerve stimulator Implant. I have to take sedatives to sleep because my bladder is so active. One incident has changed my life drastically.
@Ri Maci thanks so much for sharing your experience. Unfortunately many people are unaware it can take just one episode of overfilling the bladder. All the best to you!
@Ri Maci. So sorry that you are dealing with this. I had no idea this could happen. I hope you can recover from this.
Had a sleep test? Nocturia can be related to sleep apnea.
@@echase416 yes I have been tested for sleep apnea as well.
@@privatel_real thank you. Unfortunately when you have overactive bladder, you have it for life. I hope they discover a new medication or therapy for it as I have tried everything.
Had a holististic Dr to place a small plastic squeezable ball right at the end of your knees, at the bend of the legs, while seated on commode as you indicated, then squeeze the knees toether as tightly possible, hard as you can (no using hands to help) for 45 seconds to a minute; then remove ball and resume forward relaxed position again, and wait. The bladder will shortly release every last drop that is there. The squeeze ball size is relative to the length of the legs. Shorter legs will use a small sport ball, while basketball players may just use that. Its the pressure of the right angle/width; and the stretching of the hips, that allows some how the bladder to let go of the rest . But it does work. And what wonderful feeling. Hope this helps. gal
I will definitely start doing this! Thank you! I struggle with frequent urination ... specially at night
Llll
Same, it interrupts my sleeping too.
Thank you so much, as someone who has a uterine stent in place for kidney stones, im continuously having UTIs, doctor told me yesterday to double void. But i also have been in agony with a trapped stone in the urethra, today i have had trouble releasing urine, your technique caused my stone to shift and allow me to urinate!

I"m a 72 year old male with BPH. I do a lot of these things already. I haven't tried standing up and rotating hips. I have to pee about once an hour, and each time it's only 100-125 ml. I don't think i ever completely empty my bladder. I'm on Flomax, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. The positive aspect is that I get a good abdominal workout with every void, trying to push it all out.
She also did a video for male
Thank you so much for the video. I have a uti for the last 2 weeks and feeling miserable as it is not responding to antibiotics. I have been knocking glasses of water to try to flush it out but I see from your tips that is not the best thing for any bladder. I had noticed that the fuller my bladder is, the more difficult it is to empty it, I thought it was just me. I have some retention anyway due to the uti so I will follow your tips so I don't do more harm than good, thanks again
How are you now ?
What's interesting is that I did not know I wasn't emptying completely until I had to have an ultrasound. They had me drink a brunch of water and wait. They did their ultrasound and then had me go to the bathroom so they could continue the next part of the ultrasound. They had me come back and said my bladder was still pretty full although they knew I went to the bathroom right off the room from their testing area. I can move around and still leak out after going to the bathroom and yet, I wake up every 2 hours every night, all night long and never get to sleep more than that at a time. It's quite frustrating and no one ever gave me an option other than taking medication for it. I'm so tired and never sleep well because of it... Medication is not the answer and I won't do that! I will try and do the things you suggest. Thank you.
@
Praeeo yes incomplete emptying is often not noticed until ultrasound and yes so tiring! I hope these tips help you gain some relief and sleep!
I had a similar experience and no one told me that wasn't normal. I didn't find out until it got worse after my hysterectomy
Me to I get up 4 to 5 times so now I use a plastic jug and empty in the morning.
I'm so tyerd to.
This has helped
thank you
Same here, I'm 19 and got a year long medication. I haven't started yet because school is busy and some of the common side effects can be troublesome....but honestly if physiotherapy doesn't help I don't even mind taking pills. I just want to function normally and sleep.
How is your stricture now plz reply I m also suffer
I was told 2 years ago that I would have to self-catheterize myself, but decided to look further into a healthier method. I realized that squatting to the floor such as in a bathtub made the experience less painful and I didn’t have to void more than 2 times per session. So I bought a bedpan on Amazon and used that to squat to the floor and pee over it and then I dump the waste into the toilet. I sometimes have to use the tap over bladder method even when squatting but this position prevents me from straining causing more inflammation. Sure my knees and ankles had to get use to it and it was uncomfortable at first but I persevered. I had to get used to being in that position, but it saved me so much money from not having to depend on urethral dilation procedures and catheters and even more evasive procedures. I am so thankful I discovered this method because when you’re told there isn’t any other option besides medication and procedures and you’re told to just relax when it’s too painful to simply relax can be triggering, or you don’t have the money to see a pelvic therapist, this does wonders for anymore who needs more than the methods in this video. I am not dissing the video because it is informative, but I noticed the comments below and wanted to share my experience because I have suffered from urethral stricture for over 20 years as well as bladder inflammation (interstitial cystitis) and chronic urethral inflammation. I managed to improve over time by self-advocating for myself than masking my issues. I hope this helps anyone who isn’t getting answers and feels hopeless. Sure I still void 2-3 times depending if I triggered my bladder spasms through stress and diet, but knowing I can use a bedpan bc I don’t have access to an Indian toilet definitely helps relieve symptoms.
Fantastic information thanks so much for sharing this Rachel. You've possiby avoided a whole lot more pain with potential bladder infections from self cath especially in view of you IC by managing yourself. All the best to you and thank you for your great comment!
@@michellephysio 100% I did! Thanks for your response! Again, thanks for your video in shedding some good advice on how to relax and void better! I just wanted those in pain to know there are other ways to relax a little better if you can’t on a western toilet. 😉
Amitriptyline was prescribed for me with this condition. It was initially prescribed for fybromyalgia, but it helped enormously with the interstitial cystitis, which has now been renamed chronic bladder pain as there is not any cystitis present. Best ewishes

Well done John! Keep up the good work :)
I have seen few of your videos sent to me by my sister. Loved how you explain and it is very useful information. While exercising jumping Jacks or skipping, I leak and it is not graceful. Also, I feel the urge of going to toilet quite frequently, sometimes only for couple of drops. It is getting frustrating. Your legal exercise video is very helpful. I had been doing pelvic floor exercises, but not very diligently. Thank you.
I will try the sitting position. I wake three to four times per night. Interrupts my sleep terribly. Bravura I feel I’m not totally emptying the bladder each time
I hope your technique works!

I have the issue to empty my bladder. It’s been 5 years. I keep pushing and pushing but little comes out. I spend 15+ minutes in the bathroom. The feeling of peeing just doesn’t go away… every time I get up, there is little more that I have to push out. I knew I was hurting my urethra by pushing so much. Recently got an ultrasound and everything looks fine. Urine test looks ok too. I’ll try your method.

Interesting site and information . Ive worked in a hospital in a continuing care unit , we always used the tap method , worked everytime . For the people who suffer from UTI'S ,,, we gave cranberry juice to those that had utis as well as their medication ... theres a property in cranberry juice that helps keep uti' s away ...
Really interesting, I will remember this when I need it ....
As a medical professional kegels (pelvic floor exercises), drinking plenty water and not holding ur bladder can help tremendously, you can try her methods but if u feel pressure or urinary frequency (urgent need to go to the bathroom) or this is always a problem with please visit a doctor or urologist. Don't let these social media MD's have u suffering from a UTI or kidney infection

@Lynn Winters my pleasure! Thank you so much for this lovely comment and support Lynn, I am most grateful to you indeed. Wishing you all the best! 🙏 💖
I get so many UTI’s in this last year. I’ve been recently diagnosed with neurogenic bladder and had an episode where I couldn’t pee at all and needed a catheter because I was about to burst quite literally they drained almost 2 litres immediately. I have never experienced so much pain from not being able to pee so now I’m really conscious of trying to pee but often times I really have to push hard almost like what I imagine it’s like to push in labour to have a baby! Then I also get bladder pain that’s worsened after peeing along with higher urgency to pee which then settles after a while then the whole cycle repeats itself. A permanent catheter is likely in my future and that terrifies me😩
I have very similar issues with my bladder. I feel like I spend all my life in the bathroom. I am feeling very tired of this issue.
Hi ember could you plz explain neurogenic bladder. I don’t have issues with urination. Or leakage. My recent issue has been frequency and urgency, which comes and goes. But I have no incontinence. Does that sound like NB?
Hi @ember I'm so sorry you're going through this. Have you tried taking a d-mannose supplement that has cranberry juice, Olive and probiotics in it?
Also, colloidal silver may help, too!
I am so glad you made this video. When my urologist told me that I've not been emptying my bladder and it's the reason I had been getting UTIs, I had no idea what he was saying. I tried to do how I thought he explained it bit still got an infection. I JUST watched your video, did it along with you and was surprised at how I was able to double void correctly! I'm excited about this because now I believe I may be on the road to a normal life. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

For years and years I've known to stay on the toilet even after I thought I was done. There is always more.
Even during the night when I wake up to go to the bathroom I sit in the darkness waiting for the 'second' pee. If I don't do this, as soon as I get back into bed I will have to get back up and go to the toilet.
Stop this is the same with me, I’ll go , wash my hand and I’m leaving the bathroom and I have to go again and sometimes it’s not even a full pee it’s only a tiny bit.
how is your uti now?..after waking up in the morning i pee less amount

Thanks for this, years ago when I was on diuretics and I was so constantly going to the bathroom that I ended up not being able to leave the house, I mentioned this to the doctor who instructed me to leave going as long as possible to stretch my bladder. I quit the diuretics instead as I also believed they were doing me harm in other ways. Incidentally, I did have to be catheterized a couple of times way before this, both times after surgery. In view of the current situation I am doing everything I can to stay away from the hospital and the rest. Thanks for the advice.
You are very smart. Drs are pill pushers and will give more diuretic pills than necessary.
I recently quit a diuretic after many yrs and chronic utis. So far better but still not great.
I really appreciate this video.
Pleasure Judy! Great to hear from you
Wow i’ve been doing it right all along.
Just found your channel. it’s very useful and helpful. Thank you very much Michelle
You popped up tonight. Good advice but please refine for neuromuscular disease. Have stress and urge incontinence and limited walking ability in public so I do preventative void as if getting a ways from last mestinon dose things get difficult
Urine and waste just falls out. To the last drop. Every time. Sit down, clasp both hands over a knee, lean straight-backed with head furthest back (near to toppling backwards).
Consciously relax everything for a minute. Gravity does the rest through straight-line exhaust pipes. You'll get full nights comfortable sleep.
I’m sure it does for those with normal, healthy bladders, but not all of us are that lucky.

After my regular pee, I remain seated, contract my pelvic floor and I find there will be more urine released. I take my time, keep contacting my pelvic floor every 30 seconds or so, until no more pee is released. It does mean staying on the toilet longer than usual but I do empty my bladder.

Great video. I was having issues with not emptying and figured out that changing positions while voiding helped. Seeing a professional talk about it has helped affirm what I have seen work for me. Can cystoceles be part of the problem for some?
Same question here
@sewquest Yes definitely, cystocele can be part of the issue for some women with bladder emptying issues, especially if the bladder moves backward into the vaginal wall or if the urine tube becomes kinked. Great question, thank you!💖
