Strengthen Your Bladder and Urinate Less Often

If you suffer from having a small bladder, an overactive bladder, anything having to do with the fact that take too many trips to the bathroom or just can't control your need to urinate - follow this guide. But first, make sure you visit your doctor to make sure you don't have anything more serious.

Steps

 * 1)  Before you begin, make sure you really do have a problem. The normal amount of times you should urinate in a day is about 4 times.
 * 2)  Start out by seeing if you can get any drugs from the doctor to help.
 * 3)  Try kegel exercises. They strengthen pelvic muscles.
 * 4)  No one knows your bladder better than you. First empty your bladder totally. Then drink 2 cups of water. Make a promise to yourself that you wont urinate for however long. Only you can make up the time, because no one can tell you how long it takes for the need to pee to kick in, and how long you can hold it. I personally can do 3 hours. Then continue on like another day.
 * 5)  Every time you do this your bladder gets stronger, so increase the time. Do what ever it takes to hold it, even "plugging the hole", by grabbing the crotch.
 * 6)  You could even try to make a "fun" game on how long you can do it, then eventually your problem can get solved.
 * 7)  Practice at home first, in case you have an accident. It will be less embarrassing at home.

Tips

 * Avoid caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, pop or anything that can irritate your bladder.
 * If you're having trouble sleeping because you have to pee too much, try eating salt crackers. They can really help.

Warnings

 * Don't stop drinking water. In fact, it may be a good idea to increase the amount of water you drink per day.
 * Don't avoid going for too long. This is unhealthy and may cause a UTI.
