IT DOESN’T EVEN BEGIN YOU
Dr. Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas frequently creates content for TikTok and her videos are watched by thousands of people. The most popular video he shared was watched and liked tens of thousands of times.
In the short clip, the doctor says it’s not a good idea for women to urinate in the shower, because every time you do it (or if you turn on the faucet while peeing), your brain starts to connect with the sounds of running water.
BRAIN SOUNDS ASSOCIATE
Basically, he says, if you pee a lot in the shower, the noise could be associated with peeing in the long run.
For example; You may have the sudden urge to pee unexpectedly, such as while doing the dishes or watering the plants. Dr. “If you pee in the shower, turn on the faucet or shower, and then sit on the toilet, you create an association between the sound of running water in your brain and peeing,” Thomas says.
The doctor said in the video that this also, combined with pelvic floor dysfunction, has the potential to lead to “incontinence problems” when you hear running water in places where there is no shower.
