double-voiding technique

The double-voiding technique is a method used during urination to ensure the bladder is fully emptied. It involves the individual urinating initially, then waiting a moment, and trying to urinate again. This process helps clear residual urine that may remain in the bladder after the first flow, reducing the risk of urinary retention or infections. It's often recommended for individuals with incomplete bladder emptying, such as those with certain medical conditions. The technique promotes more complete bladder emptying and helps prevent potential bladder or urinary tract issues.
