I spoke with an urologist about a month ago, as I too have had a problem -- a contant urge to go throughout the day. What I learned surprised me. I was told that many young children were taught very early by their mothers during the 50s and 60s to finish quickly when they were sent to the bathroom. This caused the child to force out his/her urine and waste, which is improper. Rather than forcing out, these children should have been taught to relax. This condition can follow a child into his/her adult life and can show up as urgency or that "gotta go-gotta go" feeling. What is needed is for the person is to relearn how to go -- by relaxing, not forcing. For some folks, this process can take as long as three years to learn. If after three months, there is no change, the next step is usually to send the patient to bio-feedback. The urologist said that this condition mimics IBS symptoms such as thin stools.
