Use your forearm to press gently on your lower abdomen — but take care not to press directly on your bladder. Urine that moves back up into the kidneys can cause infection or damage. 8. Try the subrapubic tap Sit on the toilet and relax. Use your fingertips to rapidly tap the area between your navel and pubic bone (for women) or penis (for men). Tap once a second for up to 30 seconds. 9. Use relaxation techniques Sit on the toilet and relax as much as you can. To relax further, close your eyes and begin breathing deeply.

This may stimulate urination. Why would you need to make yourself pee? Have you ever wondered how your body knows when it’s time to urinate? Your nerve system directs your body to alert your brain when your bladder is full. When you have to pee, you feel a pressurized sensation in your abdomen, signaling that it’s time to visit the bathroom. In some situations, you might have to force your body to pee. This might be when your doctor asks you to give urine for analysis at a checkup. This is called a urinalysis. Your doctor will give you a sterile plastic container into which you urinate, and they’ll run various tests on your urine sample. Or you might have trouble after surgery if you develop a common condition called neurogenic bladder, which interferes with your normal nerve signals from the bladder to the brain. This makes it difficult or impossible for your body to figure out whether or not it has to release urine. Urine contains waste products that can be dangerous to the body if you “hold it in.” Many medications can cause temporary urinary retention.
