This. It may be common, but it’s something to get help for. |
Thirding this - I just completed pelvic floor PT AND I also did PT to close my diastasis. There is help - you don't have to have this! Plus my PT person told me it can get worse if left unaddressed when you are older... |
This. But you can get help if you want, ask your doctor about pelvic floor PT. |
| This might be my new favorite post title ever on DCUM |
| See a pelvic floor physical therapist. Where do you live? VHC and GW have good ones that take insurance. |
| Sorry OP. Hopefully you were somewhere near a clean pair of pants to change into. Or at least wearing dark pants. |
| OP posted this in 2015 why are y'all giving someone advice 4 years later? |
Different poster but thank you for this. I wondered what was going on and this makes sense. |
NEVER!

Would like to add that this can also be related to constipation and faecal loading. I.E. a poop build up.
I suggest anyone seeing this post for the same reason goes for an x-ray or CT to check that they haven't got a poop build up. Its actually more common than you may think, and the build up places pressure on your bladder, causing you to pee more frequently and also release pee when you are pushing out a fart lol. It can also be related to IBS or endometriosis, so if you have other symptoms also, you might want to see a specialist. /have had this issue and researched it thoroughly, seen specialists for it and wish I'd addressed it sooner |
| Yesterday I absentmindedly ate this super spicy chip from a bag that DH had bought and I nearly peed myself. |
|
I literally just left the bathroom from peeing, came back to my room, sat down, and farted... peeing myself. Where did it even come from, I just emptied my bladder? I didn't even push the fart, it came on it's own. Never had kids... just a naturally weak pelvic floor, no matter how many exercises. *sigh* Bodies are dumb.
So there's that. It could always be worse, lol. 🤷🏻♀️ |
FOR REAL! Stop normalizing this and wearing depends if you havent done anything to remedy this - normally- fixable issues. |
| It could be worse. Seriously. Take it from someone who knows. |
It's the pushing, and muscles are near each other. I try not to push too hard to fart if I have a full bladder. |
