Stay Healthy New England Podcast: Michelle’s Pelvic Pain Journey

How often should you actually be peeing? How much can your bladder hold? And could frequent trips to the bathroom or that constant urge to go be connected to how your bladder has learned to function?In this episode of The Dr. Jess Show, we’re taking a closer look at bladder capacity and what’s considered normal when it comes to urination. We’ll talk about how the bladder fills, how your brain and bladder communicate, why you may feel the urge to pee even when your bladder isn’t completely full, and how certain habits can contribute to urinary frequency and urgency.If you find yourself peeing frequently, having bladder urgency, going “just in case,” or feeling like you always need to know where the nearest bathroom is, this episode is for you.Dr. Jess also explains why bladder symptoms don’t always mean there’s something wrong with your bladder itself—and why understanding the connection between your bladder, pelvic floor, and nervous system can be an important part of addressing these symptoms.🎧 Tune in to learn more about your bladder, what it’s actually designed to do, and what your bathroom habits may be telling you about your pelvic health.Topics covered:• Normal bladder capacity• How often you should urinate• Urinary frequency and urgency• “Just in case” peeing• Bladder and brain communication• Pelvic floor and bladder function• Why you may feel like you need to pee when your bladder isn't full• Understanding common bladder symptoms👉 ⁠⁠⁠Conquer Incontinence Course⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Jess Papa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Phone Consult! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Arancia Physical Therapy⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @aranciaptYoutube: @aranciaphysicaltherapy5131
