Bladder retraining
Bladder retraining is a technique used to help people who experience frequent or urgent urination. It involves gradually extending the time between bathroom visits by following a schedule, which trains the bladder to hold urine longer. The process also includes bladder exercises and education about fluid intake. Over time, this method can improve bladder control, reduce urgency, and decrease accidents. It is usually guided by a healthcare professional and can be part of behavioral therapies for conditions like overactive bladder or incontinence. Patience and consistency are key to achieving the best results.
