Bladder Drill (Training):

• Bladder training involves learning about your bladder's limits and developing the habit of regular trips to the bathroom to avoid "accidents".
• This drill helps you to reestablish normal bladder control and reduce the symptoms of frequency and urgency of urination.
• This drill reeducates your bladder to hold more urine by gradually increasing the length of time between voids (urination).
• The time between voids is gradually increased to approach a normal interval of about four hours.

• Voiding times are picked (about 2 hours apart) and do not change.
• Voiding "triggers" (such as running water) can be used to encourage urination at the scheduled time.

• Voiding times may vary.
• A time interval for urination (perhaps hourly) that can be managed without accidents is established.
