Aiding urinating by pumping

Body: 

Dear Friends,
Does anyone do this besides me? For about 20 years, when my stream runs low at the end of urinating, I put my hand just below my pubic bone and do a pumping motion. And there comes more urine. It's a great help getting all the urine out. Just curious. I don't know if I do this because of prolapse or not; but it's worked for me for years. I've never heard another woman say she does it.

Haven't heard that one, but maybe you will get some responses. Keep in mind that most of the women who actively post here, have not had hysterectomy or prolapse repairs. This makes a big difference in the dynamics. Most of us do pretty well with just lifting up a little off the seat and leaning forward with lumbar curvature in place, to get everything out. - Surviving

Actually, I did this before my hysterectomy and prolapse repair.
