Bladder control issues can be embarrassing, and will affect your quality of life. If you are always on the lookout for restrooms, or are afraid to leave the house because of leaks, here are some useful tips:
• Cut down your consumption of caffeine, alcohol, and acidic foods. These irritate the bladder.
• Schedule bathroom visits for every 2-3 hours. Don’t wait too long.
• Empty your bladder, then wait a few minutes, and try again. Giving yourself a second chance can make sure your bladder is empty.
• Don’t be afraid to talk with your physician about your bladder issues. There are many medical solutions to these problems.
