Have you been dealing with a pesky blader? If you’re experiencing bladder urgency, leakage, or sudden loss of bladder work on these simple pelvic health changes to help stabilize your bladder…
Stay aware of bladder irritants like sugar, coffee, and cocktails. If you enjoy a bladder irritant this holiday be sure to pair it with a glass of water to help reduce bladder lining irritation.
Be mindful of how often you p*e… a healthy bladder should relieve its contents every 2-4 hours.
Pay attention to your bathroom body mechanics – always sit on the toilet to p*e and do slow gentle breathing to help relax the muscles that cradle the bladder and allow a full release of your bladder contents.
If you cough, sneeze, or pick something up that’s heavy, use your kegel muscles to support the bladder. “squeeze then sneeze”!
