Stopping Urination and firebreathing

Body: 

Hello all: Just wondering people's thoughts on stopping urination flow as a type of kegal to help urethracele. I've heard stopping urine flow can make the urine go back up and cause infection, but I was thinking what if it was done when you are almost finished (for the last remaining trickles)?

Also, regarding firebreathing, once you have exhaled and your stomach is hollow,what should you do next. I'm not sure whether to stand up straight and then start from the beginning, or go right back into the beginning moves without standing up straight and adjusting myself.

Thanks for any feedback!

I just continue with the breathing without standing up between.

im sorry im new to all this but what is firebreathing??

firebreathing is an exercise to help reposition everything within the pelvis. its in the book.

Hi Grasshopper,

IMHO I don't think that holding urine with a kegel would offer any more benefit over a regular kegel, except that as you said it might cause issues with infection etc. I think that if you want to kegel it might be better to do it while not urinating.

Kegels done any way don't do much of anything to improve POP but I did do them for a while and they certainly didn't cause any harm for me at least :)

Hi Grasshopper,

My pt advised not to try and hold urine midstream except on the rare occasion to test my pelvic floor strength.

Not only did she say it can cause infections, as you said, but it also confuses the bladder/brain messages and can cause more problems with bladder control. I definitely don't do it because all I need is more problems with controlling the urge to go LOL.

I hope that helps.
