Hello Doctor,
I have been holding my urine for a long time every day since I was 10 years old, and now I feel like I’m addicted to it. How can I stop this habit?
Hello
Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.
Holding urine for too long can cause discomfort and bladder problems. To help stop this habit:
1. Try to go to the bathroom when you first feel the urge.
2. Set regular bathroom breaks every 3-4 hours.
3. Drink enough water but avoid caffeine and alcohol.
4. Practice pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises to strengthen bladder control.
5. Manage stress, which can affect your bladder habits.
Since this has been a long-term issue, consider seeing a doctor for a proper check-up. They can help identify any underlying problems and suggest treatments.
Thanks
