Thursday was the second National Pee Day. Is that such a pee day necessary? Apparently there is, because for many people there is still a taboo on urinary complaints.
1. In case of urinary complaints, go to the doctor
For 60 percent of people, talking about urinary complaints is taboo. Fortunately, more and more people are realizing that it can be wise to go to the doctor in case of urinary problems. In the past year, 38 percent of people with complaints went to their GP. The year before that it was 32 percent.
2. Three quarters of adults sometimes have urination problems
These are the most common urination complaints:
– Frequent urination (21%)
– Having a strong urge to urinate (17%)
– Frequent urination at night (16 %)
– Incontinence (6%)
– Weak stream of urine or dripping urination (6%)
– Difficulty starting urination (3%)
– Pain or burning sensation with urinating (2%)
3. Checking social media in the toilet? No problem
Of 18 to 39-year-olds, 60 percent regularly checks social media in the toilet. One third even sit longer on the toilet to be able to read something.
