"Every woman needs to hear it - do not drink in the shower" (@ dr.teresa.irwin)

If you too feel the need to evacuate an hour before the last time, it may be not just the amount of water or coffee you consume - but one of your obscene shower habits that causes it.

Urologist Dr. Theresa Erwin turned to Tiktok

, perhaps our greatest source of knowledge in recent times, to explain why we must stop urinating in the shower.

That's fine in the bathroom. In the shower - a little less. Flows on the way home.

The urologist referred in her remarks to the experiment of the scientist Ivan Pavlov in dogs, which led to the discovery of the classic conditioning phenomenon, and compared the pee in the shower to the effect of the ringing of his bell on dogs.

In the video she explained: "You need to stop peeing in the shower. It is true that I mentioned earlier that standing is the right way, but it is an effective position only for emptying the bladder. You do not want to do it all the time, because what happens to you is similar to Pavlov's dog training case. "Every time the dogs heard a small bell ringing - they started to growl. In the case of your bladder, every time it 'hears' running water - it wants to empty. Every time you wash your hands or dishes, your bladder will signal you to evacuate."

At worst, if you suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction, you may just find yourself urinating a little in your panties every time someone turns on the faucet next to you.

If you were wondering why flushing the toilet does not create a similar effect, it is that when the water is flushed the urine has already been expelled and therefore this specific water flushing sound does not create the association of having to urinate.

The urologist added: "The trigger intensity of the bladder varies according to the individual, but if you really can not stop yourself from urinating in the shower, it is a bad sign."

  This is the solution

Dr. Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas has also reinforced this in the past: “The bladder relies on signals it receives from both the bladder stretch and the bladder walls as it fills, as well as signals from the brain informing it when to hold the urine inside and when to release.

We want to avoid training our bladder to link certain unwanted signals to the urge to urinate.

In this case, the changing foot in the shower links the sound of running water to urination.

This can often make you feel the need to urinate when you hear running water, or when you are near water reservoirs.

The correct frequency of accessing the toilets is every 3-4 hours, a minimum of two hours, and without getting up at night. "

Lucy Burroughs, a physiotherapist and pelvic floor specialist from the UK, agreed with the warning.

She told Tyla: "It's not terrible if it happens infrequently, but if you do it in every shower, it becomes a problem."

Feel like you're already there?

Burroughs, based at Six Physio Clinic in London, shared her advice for brain training that will get your evacuation habits back on track.

She shared: "First, check if you really need to go? People may find certain triggers like putting the keys in the door, which make them feel they have to rush to the bathroom, even though there is really no reason to. Do not rush to vacate every time you leave the house or go to sleep. "Go when you need to. In the bathroom, take your time, stand or sit on the seat for a while before you vacate. Pay attention to how long you manage to hold before you have to let go and slowly increase your waiting time. Start with a minute and each week extend by 30 seconds."

She added: "Your bladder is a vessel that needs to be filled. You usually need to evacuate when it fills about halfway. If you do not let it get to this point, then over time the bladder will learn to want to empty when it is only up to a quarter of its range."

She also suggested that women use a stool that helps to empty the bladder properly.

She added: "Your knees need to be higher than your waist and your pelvic floor. Once you free up, you need to relax completely. Leaning forward can also help."
