🚽 Pelvic Health Hack 1: Don’t empty your bladder ‘just in case’

It’s a habit many of us pick up- going “just in case” before leaving the house or a meeting.
But doing this too often can train your bladder to feel full before it really is, leading to urgency or frequency over time.

💧 How often you go depends on how much you drink.
If you’re drinking 1.5–2 litres a day, most people will need to wee about 5–7 times in 24 hours.

🫗 An average bladder comfortably holds around 300–500ml before it’s time to go.
If you’re going much more often , or only passing small amounts, it might be worth looking at your fluid habits or speaking with a pelvic health physio.

✅ Go when you need to, not “just in case.”
✅ Space your drinks throughout the day.
✅ Listen to your body.

Your bladder is trainable. Let’s help it work with you, not against you.

Heavy resistance training is the most studied and shows the largest bone gains but research also supports moderate and even lighter loads, as long as training is progressive and close to fatigue.

💡 What the evidence suggests:

Heavy loads (80–90% 1RM): 4–6 reps × 2–3 sets → strongest bone stimulus (Watson 2018; Zhao 2025)

Moderate loads (65–75% 1RM): 8–12 reps × 2–3 sets → effective & sustainable (Massini 2022)

Lighter loads (40–55% 1RM): 15–20 + reps × 2–3 sets, trained to near-fatigue → helps maintain bone (Hinton 2020)

Bodyweight and band exercises are great starting points to build strength and confidence before adding heavier load or impact.
The key is effort, progression, and consistency — not perfection.

Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s normal.
Far too many girls and women put up with period symptoms that seriously impact daily life — thinking it’s just part of being female.

Pain, heavy bleeding, long gaps between periods, or delays in starting your period can all be signs that something’s up.

If your period is interfering with your quality of life, it’s worth a conversation with your doctor. You don’t have to just “get on with it.”

1️⃣ Cystocele – bladder prolapse
2️⃣ Rectocele – re**um bulging into the va**na
3️⃣ Uterine prolapse – uterus dropping
4️⃣ Enterocele – small bowel prolapse (not pictured)
5️⃣ Vaginal vault prolapse – top of the va**na falls (post-hysterectomy) (not pictured)
