"Medical Experts Reveal the Surprising Reason to Ditch a Common Shower Habit"
Doctors are warning against the habit of peeing in the shower, as it can train the brain to associate the sound of running water with the urge to urinate. This can lead to pelvic floor weakness, bladder leakage, and difficulty holding urine. Female anatomy is not designed for peeing while standing, and the habit can strain the pelvic floor. To avoid these issues, experts recommend peeing before entering the shower and ignoring the urge to go while in there. Deep squatting in the shower can help relax the pelvic floor. Pelvic floor therapy is also recommended for those experiencing bladder control problems.
