How can I avoid having to pee in the middle of class?

[Paris_08]

I need to increase my water intake, but the only problem is I have class four days a week and I don't want to miss anything important in class because of an increase of water intake.
Also, it kind of interrupts the instructor and the other students.
I'm a 19 year old college student.

They always 6-8 cups of water a day, but that sounds like a lot, especially if I go to school four times a week.

Its quite simple.
You have a class of 1 hour 15 minutes duration.
Don't drink much water 2-3 hours before the class and if possible pee before the class.
You can drink enough water 10-15 minutes before the class get over.
If you don't drink enough water for 2-3 hours and you clear your bladder before going to class it is highly unlikely that you get the feeling to pee in between class.
Even after that you get a sensation sometimes then, run like a 100 meter runner, piss as if you have a train to catch and come back with the same velocity. :):)

[Tokana]

You know that most of the water that goes into your boy come from the food you eat right? There's no need to to take in 6-8 cups of water a day literally.

[Paris_08]

I was told once that I need to drink the amount in liters that's half my weight!! I'm not trying to die from water toxication lol.

[Tokana]

yeah, don't do that. I once did that when I was young and it was stupid.

[Paris_08]

That's why I don't listen to people most of the time.
It's like they tell you one thing, then another.

Very annoying.

[bunnyy]

if you have to pee go pee! you could start getting urinary tract infections very easily if you hold your pee those are painful and can lead to bladder and kidney infections. And kidney infections can be deadly!!! your health is more important than school always and you can ask questions if you miss something!

[Paris_08]

I already had two UTI's lol so that's why I'm working on not trying to hold my bladder too much.
You are so right!!

[Paris13]

Drink a Cup of water way before class, sweetie, then Pee before you head to school... Turn on the faucets, and sure as shoot, you will be 'Peeing' the problem out before you can say: Class dismissed.
When you get home from school, Drink the Majority of your water way before bed.
Good luck. xx

[Paris_08]

Turn on the faucets? O_o

[Paris13]

Yes, an old trick that you learn when in a doctor's office bathroom, and you are 'Forced' to pee and Can't... works every time when even having to pee in a cup.:)) xx

[Paris_08]

I never had that happen to me. And it probably wouldn't work for me either.
Why can't they just wait until somebody actually needs to pee? Rushing isn't going to help either.

They do this at the hospital all the time and man is it irritating!!

[Paris13]

Okay, just drink the Majority of your water when home from school, way before bed, and some a bit during lunch... This way you won't have to raise your hand every 5 minutes... And as long as even as you do drink the requirements, do it way before bed, mainly at home... work out a system for your 'System.'xx

[Paris_08]

Thanks!! That should definitely work :) x

[Paris13]

Great, Paris_...:)) xxoo

[whatsername]

Pee before class... and before you tell me that you can't like you told everyone else I'm going to stop you. If you don't have to then hold it! I have held it for 4 hours before on vacation when I was little and now I just wait till after class. You're 19 if you can't hold it you should see a doctor

[Paris_08]

I'm 19, not 5 so therefore I can hold my pee... but you're not supposed to because it's unhealthy.
Holding pee for four hours is insane. Are you trying to intentionally get a UTI?

Did your doctor not tell you that holing your pee is bad?

[whatsername]

Okay first off it was one time. And second I gave you a long period of time to show you that you can hold it for one class. People worry about the stupidest things omg

[Paris_08]

When you say "people", who are you referring to? Because first off I'm not stupid -_-
I came on here asking a simple question because I needed help, so I'm not stupid.

Ok it was one time, but still. I'm just saying that it's not healthy to hold your bladder for that long.

But I can't tell you what to do because it's your decision. Good luck :) x

[whatsername]

Good luck with what? You are the one that asked the stupid question. And actually it wasn't stupid until I saw all of your responses to peoples oppinions. Why ask when you know what your answer is going to be? I tried to give you an alternate of what everyone else said you scolded me. I literally only told you to hold it because your excuse of not being able to force yourself was ridiculous

[Paris_08]

First off, my question wasn't "stupid"... -_-
Wow, I can't believe how upset your are. Are you mad? lol that's funny :D

You're still sitting here trying to argue, yet I ended the conversation already.

Like I said, good luck with that.

[whatsername]

I'm not mad I think its hilarious how stupid you are and wanted to point it out

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Maybe try drinking more water on the days you have no class/ time off
the days you have school drink water but limit your intake before you
go to class but water is the best for your system, drinking reg sodas
(pop) is no good, coffee, tea , kool-aid, juices even thou they have
some water type products in them they are not all that good i agree
straight water is the best for you it seems that females are more
prone to UTI than males but i like to drink more water

[Paris_08]

The only day I don't have class is Friday.
I only drink water, coffee, and soda (rarely).
Everything else is a big no-no.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

No No hahaha!! Jk jk :p well i couldn't use
bathrooms in school cause i had "Shy Bladder
Sydrome" I would have to go so bad but
stand at the toilet my bladder locked up
i suffered for years with it but as I got older
it went away the only thing you can do is
limit your water intake before class it really
does make it hard when you need go and
you need the water to drink too I don't know hmmm?

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

It's normal when you drink water to pee more
but i think some bladders don't hold as much as others
i see lot of females have more issues peeing more than men
when you got go you need to go plus you need drink water
it's really situation kind of makes me wonder really nothing
much to prevent the bladder from making you needing to pee
especially drinking water is very common to make you need go more

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

There is pills for overactive bladders but who knows
if that is really the situation or if they could help prevent
you from peeing all the time during class might help you
very hard to say , maybe talk to Urologist for consult

[Paris_08]

That would be in my best interest. Thanks for clarifying that!! :) x

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

You're welcome i tried to figure something to help you out
you might be peeing too much from more than drinking water
it can be anxiety from class, homework also worrying before
you go some where will increase your urination it happens to me
if i worry lot before going to the doctors appointment i urinate so
much i can't sit still cause i keep getting up and going to the restroom

[Paris_08]

Well I do have anxiety, but it's the GAD (generalized anxiety disorder). But idk, it's just so weird.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Yeah that will do it for sure that's one of my illnesses
i know i got something important i can get so worked up
that I will pee to no end i know sounds strange but that
happens to me.. Also change of environment increases
anxiety for me too, worry about someone coming to my
house who is stranger i get all upset and will pee more

[Paris_08]

Very weird O_o

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Yes it is weird just happens Anxiety is
disorder that happens in the mind it
happens no matter how much we don't
want it to. I went to this partial program
years ago this woman was so sick
with anxiety she couldn't get out bed
it doesn't mean we are contagious

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

I hope you can get help for your bladder issues

[Paris_08]

Thanks!! :)

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

You're Welcome:-)

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

I thought about you , did you ever consider doing this
exercises to help your bladder here is link i'm sending you?
www.webmd.com/.../kegel-exercises-topic-overview

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

I understand it's suppose to strengthen your bladder etc?

[Paris_08]

I tried doing those already... don't do anything for me.
Feels like they're making it worse.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Yeah, I think time to see Urologist , hope it gets better :-)

[Paris_08]

Thanks!! :))

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Yeah right!

[Paris_08]

You don't believe me?

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

No it's not that I BUST BALLS FOR PEOPLE
THIS IS FUCKEN THANKS I GET !!! DON'T
WORRY ABOUT IT OKAY !!

[Paris_08]

LMAO OK :D

[KhrushBrownies]

How long does your lecture last? Mine is just 1 hour and I too drink a lot. I always have 2 litres of water in my bag everyday. Peeing is not an issue to me because
1. There is a freedom to just walk out of the class (as they said we're all adults)
2. It's only 1 hour.

[Paris_08]

My lectures last 1 hour and 15 minuets. And I know we have freedom to walk out but that's not the problem. The problem is I don't want to miss important things.
And I don't want to get up like four times to pee.

[KhrushBrownies]

Oh ok. That sure is a problem that I think has no solution unless you limit the your water intake or willing to miss out the important things in class.

[Paris_08]

Hard to decide lol...

[fiego]

Stage your water intake based on your class schedule... for example, one glass before class and then three afterward... the key is finding out how much you can drink before class without having to use the restroom.

[TadCurious]

You could try peeing before you go into class. If you do that, surely you can go for an hour without having to go that bad.

[Paris_08]

Doesn't work unless I really need to pee.

[dartmaul15]

take a piss before going to school, and/or between classes?

[Paris_08]

What if I don't have to? If I keep drinking water, then I'll end up having to go multiple times. And that's a major issue.

[dartmaul15]

That sounds like a bladder problem tbh. Usually the body can hold quite a lot of pee. Plus, it if has to, it can even release urine acid through the sweat pores.
If it's that regularly, i suggest having a word with a doc, because that sounds excessive...

[Paris_08]

Can you explain more please?

[Anonymous]

I don't want to startle you but peeing a lot yet also being very thirsty is a sign of diabetes, you should get yourself checked at the schools clinic.

[Paris_08]

I don't have diabetes because I got my A1C levels checked.
I pee a lot because I drink a lot of water, but it's not enough. That's what my doctor said.

[Opinion Owner]

Eat more salt. :)

[Opinion Owner]

Glad to hear. Keep drinking water, but eat a little bit of salty food so the water sticks to you.
Water follows salt.

[Paris_08]

Isn't salt bad for you?

[Opinion Owner]

No. Our body needs salt too, just don't eat tons of it. Everything in moderation. ;)

[Paris_08]

Well what foods should I eat with small amounts of salt?

[Opinion Owner]

There's this thing called google... just kidding look at sodium in food labels. You can eat it but make sure it's below 3 grams total every day.

[Anonymous]

pee bottle?
or a pee tube attached to a bag.. v. easy to hide too.

[Paris_08]

Only somebody who has bladder problems would need that.

[Opinion Owner]

oh well.. then just pee before class :)

[Paris_08]

And what am I supposed to do if I can't? People keep telling me to pee before class, but I can't force myself to pee if I don't have to.

[Opinion Owner]

you have to go when you have to gurl :P
holding it in is harmful... just excuse yourself once in a while.. Im sure they are not teaching something relevant all the time xD

[Paris_08]

LOl that's right hehe

[yaddayaddayadda02]

Pee before you go into class.

[Paris_08]

What if I don't have to? I can't just force myself to pee if I don't have to.

[yaddayaddayadda02]

Sure you can. Just try to squeeze some out.

[Paris_08]

Haha I already tried that and like one drop came out.

[rickytheguy]

try to train your bladder

[Anonymous]

Go before class!!

[Paris_08]

Doesn't work until I have to.
Forcing myself won't work.
