Do you make yourself go to the bathroom before a flight, even when you don’t have to? If so, it could be making your bladder worse over time.
Research discovered that nearly 73% of travelers use the bathroom before a flight, even when nature isn’t calling. Experts say repeatedly going “just in case” could actually train your bladder to feel the urge more frequently, even when it’s not full. And if you’re one of those people who avoids drinking water so you won’t have to use the airplane bathroom, experts warn that dehydration can make things worse. Their advice? Stay hydrated, listen to your body, and stop treating that last airport bathroom break like it’s your final chance at freedom.
