5 Everyday Activities Causing Pelvic Pain and Bladder Pressure

pelvic pain

The human body and its organs may do some seemingly unpredictable things, but when you take a closer look it’s not so random. There are things you may be doing daily that are negatively affecting your bladder or pelvis. Even certain body types may experience different complications when it comes to the lower region. Things like drinking, smoking, intense workouts and sitting can increase your chances of having pelvic or bladder pain. These same issues can expose some other underlying issues you may have like a urinary tract infection or fibroid issues. Your bladder and pelvic are important when it comes to how the body functions so proper care will ensure that there aren’t serious complications in the future.

5 Everyday Activities Causing Pelvic Pain and Bladder Pressure

Let’s talk about some everyday activities that are causing pelvic pain and bladder pressure. 

Sitting For Too Long

In general, sitting for too long is just unhealthy. If you’re doing a lot of sitting, chances are you aren’t active. This lack of exercise can affect your waistline applying pressure on your organs below. For example, a large waistline can make urinary tract infections worse with time.

Some studies even suggest that people who sit five or more hours a day along with low physical activity have a higher chance of having a weak urinary system. You could even see yourself having the urge to urine more than normal.

Smoking

When thinking of issues with the bladder or pelvic area you may not think about smoking, but they relate. Smoking can irritate the bladder causing urine leakage and an overactive bladder. Even the excessive coughing caused by frequent smoking can cause urine leakage.

Also while smoking you are inhaling more than just smoke. Each inhale includes lots of air which will result in bloating. A combination of smoking, drinking and overeating are bad for your overall health.

Drinking Alcohol

Drinking alcohol can also cause bladder problems. Any drink that has caffeine, can potentially bother the bladder and increase your symptoms such as a frequent urge to urinate.
