Episode 17 - Why do I have to pee all of the time?

Today let’s dive into the question, “Why do I have to pee all of the time?” It’s a pretty common question but let me start by saying this is NOT NORMAL. This is a topic that is normalized by the society. People think that when they are over 30 or 40, they HAVE to run to the bathroom all the time, but that’s not the case at all. There’s a ton that we could do through Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy to help with that. What’s truer is that there’s a lot you can do on your own to help with this situation before seeking the help of a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist.  So in this episode, I’ll share with you the reasons why you are peeing all the time, what the triggers and irritants are, and some tips to help you with this matter! Let’s talk about:  0:35 – Introduction to today’s topic 2:12 – The common misconception with women after having kids 2:30 – The importance of looking into your bladder habits 3:33 – The truth about waking up at night to pee and the correlation between peeing at night and ageing 4:16 – Looking into the different causes of why you are peeing all the time and why you need to start recognizing these causes before taking any medication for your bladder 11:13 – Other things to consider when you’re always feeling the urgency to pee 13:58 – Importance of identifying what triggers your urgency to pee all the time 20:39 – The correlation of bladder urgencies and stress urinary incontinence 22:26 – Looking into how we deal with bladder triggers and irritants 25:01 – When is it time to talk to your doctor about using vaginal estrogen to help with bladder urgencies 26:43 – What to do if you’re in medication that irritates your bladder 29:03 – Ruling out STI if you’re experiencing bladder urgencies 30:10 – Conclusion If you're struggling with bladder urgency check out this free guide: https://resilient-rx.com/bladderdiary/Want support for perimenopause that goes beyond hormones?Whether you (or your clients) are taking HRT but still having symptoms, not ready for it, or can’t tolerate it...there’s more we can do.I’ll be sharing practical tools from a movement and rehab perspective, focusing on the nervous system, fascia, lymph, viscera, and musculoskeletal system.If you want updates on workshops, resources, and strategies to support this phase of life more fully, would love you to join my email list.Subscribe to my email list hereI’ll see you in 2 weeks!PS:If you are interested in being a guest on the show, please fill out the form here.
