[@samssungs4495]

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!

[@DrEricLeckie]

Great work! Thanks for leaving a comment

[@Brucev7]

Eliminate or severely reduce Soda. At least, drink Zevia or a comparable natural sweetener Soda. Yes, reducing any caffeine drink, by 6PM or sooners is helpful. Zevia, except for their cola, contains '0' caffeine and '0' calories. Better to drink only water after 6PM or earlier.

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

[@DrEricLeckie]

Thanks for the comment, Andy. Great advice too with waiting for the second and third flow!

That is known as “ Double voiding”. In old age it is quite normal!.Obviously the muscle supporting the bladder are weak.Kjell’s exercise may help some people.

[@howardkerr8174]

I know you won't believe this, but I "stumbled on" most of this advice by myself. I am a bit embarrassed to say that I have been sitting when urinating for quite some time. My "aim" has never been great partly due to uneven flow. When I realized that I still had an urgency to urinate after returning to a seated position I took a few moments to stand in place before leaving a bathroom. Then I extended that to walking around my bathroom for a few moments. I still occasionally dribble and very occasionally have to quickly return to the bathroom, however I look forward to trying the pelvic relaxation exercises. Oddly, I assumed it was weak pelvic muscles that contributed to my problem.

[@DrEricLeckie]

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Keep up the good work

[@brucethomson3512]

I have found that in the sitting position, wiggling your toes helps to relax the pelvic floor muscles. This may sound odd, but try it, it works.

[@havede7102]

Completely correct. I learned this trick from a urologist who had to insert a catheter on me.

[@morningstar9233]

Great advice. Thankfully i've no urinary problems but here's a practise i've adopted: From a young age we're trained to pass urine just before bed time and i'd done this for years whether i felt the need to pee or not. Regardless i find 3-4 hours after going to bed i need to get up and pee. It's usually a large volume. So i abandoned the pee before bed method, unless i really need to. For me i believe this trains the bladder to only want voiding when it's full. I realise many men suffer urinary frequency for pathological reasons, but if you've a healthy urinary anatomy this may be beneficial. I find peeing when i don't really need to just makes me need to pee small amounts more often, whereas if i wait till my bladder's full i pass large volumes less often.

[@henrybn14ar]

I was given the same advice by the doctor. The bladder loses capacity.

[@hepgeoff]

[@sarahmaclellan1719]

I'm not sure why I watched this since, I no longer have this problem. But, I did have it though, for over 10 years. All through my 30's I suffered with it. I'm 44 years old now & have been free from it, for just over a couple of years now. I can remember back when it first started, I went to go see my family Dr. Although, with her being a general practitioner, she thought it'd be best that I go to see a specialist. He did a physical exam & an ultrasound & then referred me to a radiologist, for an angiography test. But all that, only to find that there wasn't anything internally wong, that would be causing it. At one point, they even wanted to put me on a drug for depression, in the hopes that it would help me to be able to relax more. Dang, how I wish I had come across this video before putting myself through all of that shit! So, I began taking my iphone into the washroom with me, because honestly, I was spending so much wasted time in there anyways, just sitting there trying to pee. However, no matter what, I always had the urge of feeling like I had to go, even after I had literally just went. Sometimes my bladder would feel so full, but I would end up only peeing a teeny tiny bit. Talk about beyond frustrating, especially having to be at the office all day, while only wanting to be in the washroom. So like I said, I began bringing my iphone in there with me, since I felt that way, I could at least, be somewhat productive with all of the time that I had been wasting, by at least, going through some of my emails. After a few weeks, I started to notice that on those days, that I had been really focused on writing an email, that I would kind of, end up lingering over the bathroom counter to finish what I was writing. And usually within 3-5mins of standing there, I would begin feeling like I had to sit right back down again, to go. Almost everytime, I would end up urinating way more on the second time around, than I had on the first. I also started to notice that I wasn't feeling that constant urge to have to go all of the time, anymore. I believe what you called the technique was, "double voiding." Well, that's exactly what worked for me. Sometimes, I even find myself "triple voiding" if I still have the urge after I stand up. I feel like I've now gotten a big part of my life back. I'm so glad that you chose to do this video, since I know that there's a large number of people out there, who suffer with this annoying problem. Hopefully trying some of these tips will help them before they go & resort to putting themselves through all the tests that I did.

[@bahaamuhsen3254]

Hi,do you know how your problem got solved ???

[@chubbyninja842]

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.

[@JimGroser]

I work exactly the same way. I can pee again if only sitting down. If I turn around and stand up bending a little bit forward makes it possible to empty 100%

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.

[@johnellis1952]

When sitting on the toilet to pee....one important thing is to keep your knees wide apart....this helps with the relaxation process.

[@EVillager]

Thanks very much for this video. I thought it was a weird only me problem. I did pop in the bathroom, wash my hands and get back to what I was doing. Then I’d be super-frustrated feeling like I peed down my leg suddenly. Knowledge is better living.

Otherwise, I usually go, and then go do something close by so I can go again in a few minutes, then I am good to go for an hour or so. It has become routine for me. I will try the rest, but it really isn't an issue except when traveling.

You’re welcome Michael. Thanks for the comment

[@SuperWink9000]

There is another technique worth mentioning. When sitting on the toilet and voiding, when the stream stops, give your upper butt crack a very light tickle/touch. Stimulating a nerve there causes immediate relaxation of the tissues constricting the flow, and complete voiding of the bladder takes place. Sounds strange, but it works.

[@Don-rg2yl]

Yes I discovered this on accident but use it all of the time now that I have an enlarged prostate. Probably the one thing that always works unless I have smoked allot of weed.

[@dixie8389]

I have used this same technique since I was a little boy(63 now) it is especially useful when you have to give a urine sample and can’t due nervousness. It has helped me many times on DOT physicals

[@HillbillyRednecking]

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.

Hello I am 20 years old, I have some issues. Like a week ago, I was having urgency to Urinate. I Urinated like 6-13 times. I went to get tests for UTIs or Kidney Stones. Tests were negative nothing was abnormal. When I urinate I feel like there’s urine left in my penis so I have to strain or push to get the rest out. It takes 3 or 4 seconds for urine to start even though I have urges. Sometimes a little urine leaks in small drops. I have like discomfort in urethra and sometimes I have like twitching or fasciculations inside my urethra. This is scarying me. I don’t have any other symptoms like pain or blood in my urine.

No one seems to know about my method of intermittently obstructing the proximal urethra during voiding by compressing the proximal urethra just below the prostate behind the scrotum. This dilates the prostatic urethra where the obstruction is occurring. Grant Falck, MD

[@stephenfoxall9655]

Not a reply but further thoughts:- When I want to go with some urgency I can not wait as I have to release quite quickly. I don’t know but perhaps this is also due to lack of bladder elasticity not allowing the bladder to take a further flow from the kidneys and therefore one gets a squirt like a release valve. The trick is to know when you have perhaps another 15 mins. My urologist advised not drinking anything for at least two hours before a journey or going to bed. The thing is your body requires about 2 litres of water a day so the cells remain turgid. Such is life. I had a laugh about Amazon drivers’ peeing in bottles in their van. Well when you’ve got to go you’ve got to go. 🤣🤣. (London lorry drivers have the legal right to pee against the near side front wheel if they need to and there is not a “proper” option.)

[@oOBlackadderOo]

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.

All the other comments covered everything, so I thought I’d offer this: Ditch the toy car, stage light, & laptop. Perhaps insert your name, instead of ‘Keep Goin” motto. 🤔

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

Honestly, I did try it, sitting down; nothing came out. Frustrating!

[@AaronBrooks1]

The content in this video is great so I'm sorry my first comment is about the jump cuts. With the color changing light next to you, the dialog splices become very obvious and the result is far more distracting than jump cuts that have better continuity. To finish your video, I had to look away to avoid being distracted which meant I missed out on (or had to go back to see) the visuals used in the video.

[@DrEricLeckie]

Thanks for the feedback Aaron. This video was filmed 8 months ago at the beginning of my KZbin journey. I’ll try to continue improving the production quality.

Thankfully no enlarged prostate. I don't drink coffee but I do take Vivrin (stay awake pills) 2 or three a day sometimes. Can that be the cause of need to pee so much? thank you

[@DrEricLeckie]

Sorry Joel, I’m not too sure about this one. Have a chat with your doctor and discuss the side effects of Vivrin

Sir, please reply to my concern. I don't have weak pelvis floor or anything, but whenever i pee and leave washroom i feel emptied bladder but if i go back and check the understand there will be 1-2 small pee drops. How to fix this?

[@newmonengineering]

Saw Palmetto helps as well.

[@boutrosalkhouri4523]

I agree about sitting and urinating, always when I sit I do it more but frequently, what I mean while I’m sitting it runs and stop and runs again and it is stop and runs maybe four times,

[@jcolumbiap]

I would do a story on the connection between distance running and raised psa and how many days should a runner not run before taking his psa test. My doctors have always said nothing raises the psa but cycling and cancer but new information is changing that thought. Thanks!

[@DrEricLeckie]

Thanks for the recommendation, Joe. Let me do some research into this and see what I can come up with for a video. I appreciate your support!

[@jcolumbiap]

@@DrEricLeckie I think we need at home testing that gives the results in numbers. Then when you need a group of runners to test, I might have one.

[@jcolumbiap]

@@DrEricLeckie I just hate seeing all the false positives that doctors react to. I’ve was told in December of 1995 that I was going to die of prostate cancer. I ran the 100th running of the Boston marathon about four months later. That was over 20 years ago. Part of my mind is still plotting to do another Boston Marathon.

[@DrEricLeckie]

Yes there’s certainly more research needed into advanced screening and testing. PSA readings shouldn’t be the only factor considered that’s for sure

[@JC-rn5tk]

Along the same lines, I was thinking distance running (which I do a lot of) as well as cycling might simply tighten the pelvic floor, thereby contributing to this problem.

I start sitting and then I will stand, turn around and start the last flow. I had a TURP several years ago..

[@DrEricLeckie]

Nice Bill. This is called double voiding and it’s a great strategy

[@Foebane72]

Since 2015, I am completely unable to pee even a small amount with a full bladder, so I have to use intermittent urinary catheters to empty the bladder completely. It's a relief to empty the bladder, but I am reliant on those catheters, and I'm afraid what would happen if I were separated from them, if I was unable to get to them or something, and I was wondering if there was sort of a cure for acute urinary retention?

[@googledude5704]

I found out that the best way to empty the residual urine volume is to massage the bladder. It works like a charm, just a few moves stimulate the bladder to give up all that is left.

[@DrEricLeckie]

Love this!

Washing with Warm/Hot water helps with voiding. As the muscles relax.

[@nixdapogs]

I notice myself having a Pavolv-like response everytime I brush my teeth, wash my face and couple other things that I cant recall right now. But the jist is, I feel like peeing everytime I do them even of I just peed a short while ago.

[@billmcfarland2294]

me too, there is something about dipping your hands in warm water that makes me feel like peeing.
