Expert warns that drinking less water to avoid going to the bathroom while traveling can harm the pelvic floor

Soraya Hijazi Vega, a specialist in pelvic floor rehabilitation and member of the Spanish Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (SERMEF), has issued a warning regarding the health risks of limiting water intake during travel. The practice, often adopted to avoid using public restrooms, can negatively impact the pelvic floor.

Medical experts advise against this behavior, as maintaining proper hydration is essential for bodily function. By intentionally reducing fluid consumption, individuals may inadvertently place strain on their pelvic health, highlighting the importance of prioritizing physiological needs over the convenience of avoiding restroom stops while in transit.
