The trick for holding your pee is to squeeze your pelvic floor muscles a few quick times which can help you hold in your pee until you can get to the toilet to relieve yourself.
To squeeze your pelvic floor muscles, tighten and lift the muscles around your vagina, urethra and rectum, as if you're trying to prevent them from exiting.
Hold the contraction for a couple of seconds and then relax and repeat this several times a day, and then gradually increase your holding time as your muscles become stronger.
The most common way of locating the pelvic floor muscles is to imagine stopping the flow of urine.
You can try stopping the flow of urine midstream while you're urinating, which can help you feel which of the muscles engage.
Some people also find it helpful to observe their perineum, which is the area between their genitals and anus in a mirror or while contracting and you should see a slight lift and tightening.
Once you've located the muscles, contract the muscles by squeezing and lifting them inward and upward.
Imagine drawing the muscles up towards your belly button.
Keep the other muscles relaxed and avoid clenching your buttocks, thighs or stomach muscles.
And breathe normally and don't hold your breath while contracting the muscles.
Start by holding the contraction for a couple of seconds such as 3 to 5 seconds and then gradually increase the holding time as the muscles get stronger.
Release the muscles fully and relax for the same amount of time as you held the contraction.
And repeat the squeeze and release cycle for the recommended number of repetitions such as 10 to 15 repetitions.
While it's okay to hold your pee in for awhile, you should not hold your pee in for too long as it can result in urinary tract infections and other health issues, including possible kidney damage and eventual kidney failure.
