If You’re Experiencing Bladder or Bowel Changes, You’re Not Alone 🤍

Bladder and bowel changes can happen quietly and gradually — often at moments we don’t expect.

They may appear after childbirth, surgery, illness, medication changes, or as we grow older. For many, these changes can feel confusing, uncomfortable, and sometimes isolating.

What’s important to know is this: you are not alone.
Bladder and bowel concerns are more common than many people realise, and they are recognised medical conditions —
not personal failings and nothing to be embarrassed about.

Too often, people delay seeking help because they believe nothing can be done, or they feel unsure about who to speak to. In reality, early advice and appropriate care can lead to meaningful improvements in comfort, confidence, sleep, and overall quality of life.

At the Society for Continence Singapore, we believe everyone deserves dignity, understanding, and access to accurate information. Whether symptoms are mild or more challenging, support and treatment options are available.

If this message resonates with you or someone you care about, consider speaking to a healthcare professional. Taking that first step is a positive and empowering choice — and it can make a real difference.

Waking up multiple times at night to pass urine isn’t just “part of aging.”
It could be nocturia — and it can be managed.

Here’s what you should know:
🌜 Nocturia is NOT normal aging
⚠️ Common triggers include:

•⁠ ⁠Late-night drinking
•⁠ ⁠Caffeine
•⁠ ⁠Alcohol
•⁠ ⁠Swollen legs (fluid shifts when lying down)

Try the 3–3–3 Rule:
☕ Stop caffeine by 3pm
💧 Reduce fluids 3 hours before bed
🦵 Elevate your legs 3 hours before bedtime

If you’re waking up more than twice nightly, speak to a healthcare professional.
Good sleep = better health.

👉 Know someone who wakes up often at night? Tag them.

Breathe, Don’t Brace

Many people don’t realise that holding your breath or straining during daily tasks can stress your pelvic floor muscles.
🌬️ Take a moment to breathe deeply and move mindfully — whether you’re lifting groceries, exercising, or using the toilet.

A relaxed breath keeps your core and pelvic floor working together, naturally. 💪
✨ Small habit, big difference for your continence health.

👉 Practice mindful breathing today — your body will thank you.

Ditch the “just in case” toilet trips! 🚫🚽

Going too often just in case can actually make your bladder more sensitive and train it to hold less.

💧 Try spacing out your toilet visits and only go when you really need to.
Training your bladder to hold normal volumes helps improve control over time.

👉 Be patient — progress takes practice, but every small change adds up!

It’s time to talk openly about a silent issue. 💧
Many adults — including 1 in 3 women and 1 in 10 men — experience bladder control problems at some point in life. Yet most never seek help.

The good news? 🌟

✅ Incontinence isn’t something you have to live with.
✅ There are treatments, exercises, and therapies that really work.
✅ Early care means faster recovery and a better quality of life.

Let’s break the stigma together. 💙

If you or someone you know is affected, reach out to your doctor or the Society for Continence Singapore today.
