About Bladder Training
Although bladder function is generally influenced by the involuntary nervous system, voluntary nerves also control it. This is why the bladder can, to some extent, be “trained.”
Bladder training can help some people who have an overactive or weak bladder to regain at least some control over their bladder. Ideally, they then no longer have to rush to the bathroom because of an increased urge to urinate, or no longer leak before getting there.
