Great tips. I have watched a couple of your videos now. Love your tips and positive attitude. Not just selling pills.

Thanks for these tips. Sitting down on the toilet at home will be easy, but I hate doing that in public bathrooms. I'll try the exercises, thanks.

I happened on this video and dropped back to say thanks. I wish I had know the techniques a long time ago.

I had trouble with muscle tension and being able to establish a stream, the sit and stand method definitely helped, but I believe the root of my problem were ADHD and stress, ADHD meditation helped get my stress under control, which also helped relax muscles in my pelvic floor, because I would also have trouble relaxing enough to have a bowel movement do to way to much pelvic floor tension.

Fun fact: sometimes after taking a #2 which includes #1 I still feel the need to do a #1. And just peeing standing up does the trick.

Dr. Eric,
I'm 78 and have been suffering from leakage and frequent trips to the bathroom (once an hour or 7 times a night). After watching your video, I realized I needed to stop drinking water and soda and no snacking after this time as well (6 pm). Within 3 days, my urge to urinate dropped to 3 times a night! I'm doing the kelge exercises as well. What an incredible difference! God bless you, Doctor!

for me it's quite the opposite, my bladder empties with no pain and faster when I stand

[naschahoof]

All I drink really is tea. I know it's a diuretic. But I can go for a wee then not long after need another pretty big wee. Inconvenient when I drive for a living lol. I put it down to the tea than to some disorder tho?

Hi doctor.. My urine Don't clear proparly..my lower abdominal pain some times and back pain durning urination.. I saw many dctr bt could not help..plz advice me

[daveEmartin]

No trouble emptying but here’s the issue I’ve been having since I was in my early 20’s. Weak stream, especially when I have to pee really bad. Seems like I’d have a strong stream when I have to pee badly. What’s that all about?

[TheWhisleblower]

I usually go to to the toilet for a pee and the bathroom for a bath I know this may sound strange😀😀

[nemomarcus]

I only have that issue when I drink iced tea. Otherwise I don't have any problem. Unfortunately, I love iced tea and can only avoid it before I get the urge to have it again.

If the Faust of water running next to me and hear the water splashing I urinate more,

*I used to have an enlarged prostate. By using already for 1yr Pumpkin seeds it chrunck a lot. I dont go to the bathroom at night anymore and sleep straight on until in the morning! Also no side effects*

I'll tell you a trick which worked AMAZING for me -- which I didn't even know I needed. This is when standing: rub/itch just the top inch or inch and a half of the crack of your butt! To put it simply, I had an itch and just scratched this area with my fingernail and it elicited a POWERFUL reflex that squeezed my bladder. It has worked perfectly ever since. IMO this is the same reflex we see in infant animals when their mother licks that area to make them go.

I started having prostate issues around the time I turned 40. I take something for it, but I still have trouble sometimes. What's interesting is that you say to sit to completely void, which is the exact opposite of what I have to do. Say for example I had to #2. Obviously, I also #1 while that's going on. At the end, I feel like I'm completely empty, but as soon as I stand, I have to #1 again and I can only get it out if I remain standing. My ability to let it out while sitting is extremely limited. I can only completely void when standing.

I watched this Video and the advice worked, but I have a word of advice and that is when you have emptied your bladder once, Wait !...wait a few seconds, maybe up to a minute and almost certainly a second flow will start, in fact sometimes but not always a third flow can happen ! Good Peeing, Andy

I had this condition, in my case it was caused by untreated anxiety.
