A member asked:
Is holding the urine as long as possible a way to train the bladder if stress incontinence ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No way: Don't do it. Kegel exercises, or squeezing a ball between your knees can often help to overcome stress urinary incontinence. Holding urine as long as possible will probably make you wet more and make you more prone to getting a uti.
