Exercise To Speed Recovery Of Urinary Control

To speed recovery of urinary control:

• Stand up at a toilet bowl or other place where you can urinate. (The exercise does not work sitting down)
• Start your urine stream.
• Once the stream is going in full force, stop it by contracting the muscles in your butt. Imagine you are trying to hold a quarter between your cheeks. (Do not contract your abdominal muscles or the muscle in front around the penis).
• Hold your urine back for 5 or 10 seconds.
• Repeat as many times as you can.
• Only perform these exercises when you are urinating. Do not keep contracting these muscles throughout the day.
