You are not alone, there are plenty of women in the same boat! There are those who need to run to the bathroom after a sudden urgent need to urinate, or those who have to pee every half hour (pollakiuria), or those who wake up several times a night to pee (nocturia) perhaps waking their partner as well. There are those who suffer more from recurrent cystitis or small involuntary leakage of urine (incontinence), which may have begun after childbirth and was neglected. There are those who find it difficult to empty their bladders completely, and constantly feel the sensation that they still have a couple drops left. How can you prevent all of this? In addition to asking your doctor, you can definitely strengthen the pelvic floor muscles by doing specific exercises several times a day. Manage your weight and eat healthy, avoiding spicy foods and alcohol. Avoid wearing underwear that is too tight, and always choose natural fabrics. Wash yourself with products that have a physiological pH so you don’t alter the acidity of the intimate mucous membranes.
