However, there are times when a person needs to pee, either for a urine sample or other reason, and cannot prepare beforehand. Below are some techniques and tricks to help induce urination when needed. In most cases, a person can help prevent urination problems with some preparation, such as by drinking plenty of water before an appointment where urine samples are required. Some medical conditions can make urination difficult, such as prostate problems or bladder infections. In these circumstances, a person should seek medical attention to address the underlying cause of their symptoms, instead of trying to force urination. Under normal circumstances, a healthy person should not need to force urination. Instead, the body will naturally tell a person when they need to pee. Forcing urination should only occur when required for a medical sample. There are several ways that a person may be able to force themselves to pee on demand. These techniques may not work for everyone. A person may need to try several methods in order to find what works best for them.

The National Institutes of Health recommend the following techniques:

1. Tapping the area between navel and pubic bone

While sitting on the toilet, a person can tap the area located between the belly button and the pubic bone. Using the fingertips, a person can gently but firmly tap the skin near the bladder every 30 seconds to encourage urination.

2. Bending forward

Bending forward while sitting on the toilet puts additional pressure on the bladder, which can encourage urination.

3. Placing a hand in warm water

Placing a hand in warm water can trigger the urge to pee. A person should do this while sitting on the toilet. If the toilet is within reach of a sink or tub, a person can let warm water run from the tap over their hand.

4. Running water

The sound of water can trigger the need to urinate. A person having trouble urinating can turn on the bathroom sink before attempting to pee or flush the toilet before using it. Some people find that playing recordings of running water can also have the same effect.

5. Drinking while trying to urinate

6. Trying the Valsalva maneuver

The Valsalva maneuver involves pushing down as if trying to have a bowel movement. A person may find that using their forearm to push on the lower abdomen also helps. People should avoid putting pressure directly on the bladder, as this can cause urine to back up into the kidneys and may cause an infection.

7. Exercising

Simple exercises such as walking or doing jumping jacks can help a person urinate. Before heading to the bathroom, a person may wish to do a few laps of the house or office to stimulate urination.

8. Massaging the inner thigh

Rubbing the inner thigh while on the toilet can help induce the need to pee. A person should gently massage the inside of their leg with their hands or fingers.

9. Using relaxation techniques

If a person is nervous or stressed about being unable to pee, they can try some basic relaxation techniques to encourage urination. Keeping their eyes closed, a person can focus on relaxing the muscles, starting with the fingers and hands and working through all parts of the body. The goal is to relax the bladder and encourage urination.
