Every woman wants a strong pelvic floor, no matter what age. So, when Dr. Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas posted a very insightful video on TikTok explaining all the bad habits for your pelvic floor, we were surprised to see how peeing in the shower can cause issues. But her explanation makes perfect sense.
"Your bladder relies on signals it gets both from the stretch of the bladder walls as it fills, as well as signals from the brain which let it know when to contract to urinate. We want to avoid training our bladder to associate certain signals with the urge to pee. In this case, peeing in the shower associates the sound of running water with urination or with submersion in water.
Chatting to Buzzfeed she said, "From a pelvic floor perspective, the position for peeing in the shower is not conducive to pelvic floor relaxation. AMAB bodies have the prostate to support the bladder, which makes standing to urinate okay, but AFAB bodies — as well as people who have had affirmation surgeries — do not have the same level of support for the bladder."
