Waking at night to pass urine is called nocturia.
Many people assume it is due to drinking too much water, but this is not always the case.

Nocturia is often linked with urgency and bladder sensitivity.
The bladder does not need to be full to send strong signals, especially at night.

Understanding the connection between nocturia and urgency is an important first step in management.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help identify contributing factors and guide treatment.

Sudden bladder urgency? You’re not alone.

That strong “gotta go NOW” feeling can be frustrating and overwhelming — but there are simple strategies that help retrain the bladder and reduce leaks.

What can help:
• Spreading fluids evenly through the day
• Bladder training (gradually increasing time between voids)
• Pelvic floor exercises done correctly
• Learning urge-suppression techniques

Bladder urgency and incontinence are common — but they are not something you have to just live with. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can make a real difference.

If urgency, leaks, or fear of accidents are affecting your daily life, help is available.

It surprises many people, but bowel health and bladder urgency are closely linked.

When stool builds up in the re**um, it can:
• Press on the bladder
• Reduce bladder capacity
• Increase urgency and frequency
• Make it harder to fully empty
• Trigger urge leakage

This is true for women, men, and children — and it often gets missed.

Signs constipation may be contributing to urgency:
• Straining or incomplete bowel emptying
• Hard stools or skipping days
• Bloating or abdominal discomfort
• Needing to wee frequently, especially with little volume

Fixing bladder urgency isn’t just about the bladder.
It often requires looking at:
✔️ bowel habits
✔️ fibre and fluid intake
✔️ toileting posture
✔️ pelvic floor coordination (not just strength)

At Western Women’s and Men’s Health, we take a whole-system approach to pelvic health. That means addressing both bladder and bowel function, not treating them in isolation.

Urgency?
Wee-ing on the way to the toilet?
Always scanning for the nearest bathroom?

You’re not alone — and it’s not something you have to “just put up with”.

Urinary urgency (and urge leakage) often isn’t about a weak bladder. It can be linked to:
• An over-sensitive bladder
• Pelvic floor muscles that aren’t coordinating well
• Long-standing “just in case” wee habits
• Stress, constipation, caffeine, or hormonal changes

The good news?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help.

At Western Women’s and Men’s Health, we work with women and men to:
• Reduce urgency and frequency
• Improve bladder control
• Learn urge-suppression strategies
• Rebuild confidence leaving the house
• Stop planning life around toilets

You don’t need to restrict fluids or avoid going out. With the right assessment and a personalised plan, urgency can improve.

If urgency is affecting your day (or your sleep), support is available.

Re**al prolapse happens when the re**um pushes out through weakened pelvic floor support.
Symptoms may include:

a visible bulge from the a**s

leakage or incomplete emptying

discomfort or pain

Why early intervention matters:

pelvic floor physio, bowel and bladder retraining, and lifestyle changes can greatly reduce symptoms and sometimes delay or avoid surgery.

If you notice changes, don’t ignore them — getting assessed early makes all the difference.
