Urinary Comfort Tips for Men: 12 Daily Habits

Small changes, more comfortable days and nights.

Quick answer

Simple daily habits can help men feel more comfortable with urination. Helpful steps include drinking most fluids earlier in the day and less in the two hours before bed, limiting bladder irritants such as caffeine, alcohol, fizzy drinks and artificial sweeteners, double voiding by waiting a moment and trying again, bladder training to gradually lengthen time between bathroom visits, pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises, staying active, keeping a healthy weight, preventing constipation with fiber and water, and asking a doctor or pharmacist whether any medicines such as diuretics or decongestants affect urination. New or worsening urinary symptoms should always be checked by a doctor, and inability to urinate or blood in the urine needs urgent care.
