You can help yourself pass urine freely by using a hot water bottle or heating pad over your bladder and lower abdomen.

Taking a warm bath. Massaging your lower abdomen and bladder area.

Drinking plenty of water and other fluids..

Difficulty passing urine is a common problem.

It can be caused by conditions that affect the kidneys, bladder or prostate gland (in men).

Urinary tract infections, prostate problems, and kidney stones are common triggers for this problem to develop.

In some people, more than one condition is present.

Some things you can do to help you release urine are to.

    Run the water. Turn on the faucet in your sink.
    Rinse your perineum.
    Hold your hands in warm or cold water.
    Go for a walk.
    Sniff peppermint oil.
    Bend forward.
    Try the Valsalva maneuver.
    Try the subrapubic tap.

Mirabegron is a medication approved to treat certain types of urinary incontinence.

It relaxes the bladder muscle and can increase how much urine the bladder can hold.

It might also increase the amount you're able to urinate at one time.

This may help you to empty the bladder more completely.

Drinking warm water before bed will increase the likelihood that you will urinate more at night.

Usually you won't have that need during 8 hours to ensure uninterrupted deep sleep.

If you don't empty your bladder often enough, or go a couple of days without emptying it all the way, it can result in a urinary tract infection (UTI).

If you hold your pee as a matter of habit, your bladder can start to atrophy.

Over time, you may develop incontinence.
