"Habit of the Week"  this week comes with a warning.  You may want to go to the toilet just reading about it.  

GOOD BLADDER HABITS

 1.       Drink two litres of fluid per day; include water, juices, and milk. 

Ahhh Coffee - special note.

   Restrict caffeine to 3 cups per day, if you don't have "urge"symptoms; Try and eliminate caffeine if urgency and frequency are problems.

2.    For that two litres go to the toilet 5 – 7 times to pass urine from when you get up to when you go to bed.

3.      Cut out ‘just in case’ visits to the toilet.

4.    Go to the toilet when you have a bouncy full  bladder sensation rather than the urethral sensation

5.    All you life have good bowel function

6.   Never hover or strain to pass urine.

Makes you think about the habits of a lifetime and all those times mum said to go "Just in case".
