Hi Everyone
having recently had a UTI,and not reacted well to antibiotics,I was directed to some videos on the net regarding 'double voiding ' when emptying your bladder. I had never heard of this before and it really helps ...just flagging it up if it is useful....🤔
Thanks Temoral 😊 Will take a look! x
Always worth a try - I did a post about it absolutely YONKS ago!!! Several people said it helped.
Yes it does! I had umpteen renal infections last year, urethral stent, renal stones and abx- leading to their fragmentation and removal. It was the nurse practitioner who told me about this. I have practised it ever since!
What is double voiding, please explain , I feel it would be useful to me thanks
From the NHS website:
“1 regularly empty your bladder without delaying
2 urinate again 10 to 20 seconds after your first attempt (if you're unable to empty your bladder completely first time); this is called double voiding and helps empty the bladder more efficiently”
The idea I believe is to try to prevent urine infections and/or the formation of bladder stones…..
I had to look it up! 😊x
Thank you! I shall follow the instructions.
The video explains the techniques for achieving this which is helpful...not nhs..
Have you a link for the video?
Sorry...but if you Google double void it should come up ..she is Australian...but I will look for a link...it is Michele Kenway 'how to empty your bladder' ...video, also one for men....all fully clothed thankfully 😉
Thanks I’ll google it
That's the one....thank you
I've just watched this, thank you for posting. Interestingly the lady mentions turning on a tap in order to 'go'. This is how I was potty trained as a child, the result being that now whenever I hear a tap running I have to 'go' no matter where I am!
Yes!!!! Exactly what my parents did. Funny
And not always helpful 
I wonder if the tap theory would help my husbands prostate delaying wee issues
The link didn’t show up for me but sure I’ll find it on google, thank you
Just click on the video and it should load.
Could you point out in your post that the video can be accessed further down the thread? People often don't look at the bits inbetween!
me? sorry, not sure what you mean. I did a quick google and found this, which is I assume what Temoral was talking about?
No - the comment is addressed to Temoral - but there comes a point in an internal thread where it resets to the left and doesn't actually say who it is for! I forgot ... Only Temoral can insert anything into the original post - or and administrator and its the weekend.
Understood
Explained this the other day to someone -if the reply has just the sender’s name then it’s directed at the originator. .If it has the sender’s name plus a greyed out reply icon and another member’s name then it’s a reply to someone other than the original poster. Although the originator can see all replies…
