No Appointment Necessary · What's Actually Normal for Your Bladder? · 27 Jul 2026 podcast

And so it will tell you, oh, we're in a safe place now. voice-verified

Let's go. voice-verified

So you suddenly just get that urge to go because your brain has recognised your home is a safe space to go. voice-verified

Have a wee. voice-verified

So again, this is because your body goes into fight or flight mode because you're nervous or stressed or excited. voice-verified

Your body thinks, ah. voice-verified

ah, right, before we do this, we better sort everything out. voice-verified

And one of those sorting outs is going for a wee. voice-verified

So it's preparing your body for whatever's coming and you'll be perfectly ready for it at that point. voice-verified

But you have to empty your bladder first because your bladder's got a bit of urine in. voice-verified

Let's might as well get rid of it. voice-verified

with a free bladder let's do it with a free bladder it's psychological so you don't actually need to have that wee you don't need to have that wee it's stimulated by something called the parasympathetic nervous system which is a nervous system you don't have to think about and your body sorts out itself so it's just it's just your body if you've got an exam it knows you've got to sit down for two or three hours you won't be able to have a wee so it'll tell you right now you need to go before then and it's the same with anything that's coming up like that if you really need the loo voice-verified

No, no. voice-verified

No, it's got nowhere to go. voice-verified

You know, remember the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder are a one-way system. voice-verified

It can only come down. voice-verified

Urine can't get back up there because there's valves that close off. voice-verified

If urine tries to get back up, there is a valve system that closes and goes, no, thank you, you're only going one way. voice-verified

So when the bladder contracts and squeezes... voice-verified

Urine might try and get back up, but it can't. voice-verified
