Feeling the urge to visit the bathroom constantly throughout the day? On average, adults urinate 6-8 times daily, but women often experience this more frequently. A simple, evidence-based method called double voiding can help you spend less time on the toilet. Here's how it works, drawn from reliable medical insights.
Double voiding involves emptying your bladder twice during each bathroom visit for more complete relief.
1. Sit on the toilet as relaxed as possible, leaning slightly forward.
2. Relax your hands and arms.
3. Urinate fully to empty your bladder as much as possible.
4. Stay seated, gently rocking your hips back and forth for a count of 20.
5. Lean further forward, fully relax, and release any remaining drops.
This technique not only reduces urination frequency but may also help prevent bladder infections by ensuring complete emptying.
