BLADDER ISSUES? - It Could Be This Simple...

Added: 2026-05-10

[00:00:00]Are you finding it difficult to sleep through  the night without getting up to go and pee?

[00:00:05]Are you going multiple times? Do you find that  during the day? Also, when you do need to pee, suddenly it's really urgent? Especially  as you're getting older, you start finding this. This is very common, and there are a  number of reasons for this. And there's one in particular that I want to talk about in this  video because this could change your life. Now, a lot of people will say it's a prostate issue,  but that can't always be because... this may come as a surprise to you, but half of people in  the on this planet do not have a prostate gland, Okay? Women don't have a prostate, and they also  have issues with desperately needing to go and pee way more often than they used to. In their case,  it's definitely not prostate. If you're a man, it might be your prostate or it might not be. It  might be one of the other causes. So, I've done a video on prostate issues and why sometimes your  prostate causes you to want to go and pee a lot, and I'm going to link that video up here somewhere  afterwards. And I'm also going to put a link to it in the notes below this video so that if you're a  man and you're peeing a lot, especially at night, go and watch that one because that might be  something that affects you. If it's not your prostate, it might also be Vitamin B1. Okay, so  let's just get this one out of the way as well, otherwise known as "Thamine" - Vitamin B1 is  thamine, and we do tend very often to be a little deficient in thamine. And thamine has a very  important role in the controlling of your smooth muscle fibers. And your smooth muscle fibers are  the ones that you don't control voluntarily. They kind of operate by themselves - in your gut,  in your stomach, and in your bladder. So, I'm also linking a video about Thamine or Vitamin B1  down below here. Right, There is something else: There is something else that happens. And did I  just mention that the bladder has muscle in it?

[00:02:13]It is muscle. It's muscle tissue. Smooth muscle  tissue. And one of the things that happens to us as we get older is our muscles start to shrink.  That is known as "sarcopenia". Sarcopenia is the shrinking of muscle with age, unless you use  the muscle. So there are a lot of reasons why, as you get older, it's really important to keep  doing exercise particularly resistance exercise like weights or body weight exercises to stop  those muscles shrinking away. But we have muscles in our body that we don't see. Our heart is a  perfect example and we end up with a weak heart.

[00:02:57]But our bladder is a muscle. So, as your bladder  weakens, as you get older, so it loses the ability to hold the same volume of urine that it used to  hold because it's just too heavy. It's just too much. And signals go through your nervous system  to your brain and say, "You need to unload the bladder. You need to go and pee." And it's urgent.  And if you don't go, the muscle is going to collapse. It's just going to give up and collapse,  and you're just going to pee. So you are desperate all of a sudden to get to the loo. So what do you  do about that? This is very simple to address.

[00:03:36]Very very simple kegel-type exercise that will  restrengthen your bladder and retrain your bladder to be able to cope with the volume of urine that  you used to cope with so that you can go longer between peas and you can sleep better through the  night. And you can do it sitting in a chair. I can do it right now. You can do it lying in your bed.  Whenever you think about it and do it as often as you remember to do it. Just do it. So now you have  to imagine that you need a pee. Okay. And what do you do to try and hold it in? You you kind of...  Yeah, I'm doing it now. It's... you will know what this means. This is... do the thing in your  gut area and around your groin and your hips. Do the thing that you do when you're trying to not  pee. Okay, I'm doing it now. That is exercising the muscles around the bladder and the bladder  itself. It's not even difficult. There we go. So, it's almost like trying to hold a pee. I don't  need a pee. I don't need one right now. So if you do that on a regular basis, you will restrengthen  and retrain your bladder to be able to hold more urine than it is doing at the moment. It's that  simple. As I said, it may be a prostate issue, which is really more a... hormonal issue. Um, but  go and have a look at that one if you're a man and you're having issues with needing to pee too often  or struggling to pee. And it may be a vitamin B1, there's a video about that. Or it may just be  that your bladder is getting weaker and a little bit floppy. It's not as strong as it was. It's  not holding the volume it used to hold. These are very easy things to fix. It's not because you  have any dread disease or anything horrific going on. You're just getting a little bit older, deal  with it. All right, that's it from me. Thank you for subscribing to our channel. I hope this video  is going to help you. Share it with people you know who do have this issue and seem to need to go  and pee all the time. Um, it's really easy to fix.
