“Essentially you sensitise the bladder, it becomes more sensitive. The bladder learns to give you signals of fullness at lower volumes. Prof Doumouchtsis, who is a Royal College of Gynaecologist accredited urogynaecologist, said: “You see more and more women carrying a large tank or bottle of drink all the time.
“But on the other hand, you have a highly concentrated urine which can act as an irritant.
