General Question

Is there any position (standing, lying down, sitting etc.) that makes a person need go to the toilet more often? See detail.

Edited.
So, this is about voiding only. So, which position is it? Is it walking around sitting or lying down, if everything else is equal? And there is no medication involved. Is there a source that addresses that?

It’s a minor male, if that adds anything.

I would think that sitting places pressure on the bladder and thus makes one go more often as soon as they stand?

Sitting in a moving car or on a motorcycle is the only thing that comes to mind.

Well, a sequence: I find that if I sit a lot (as I often do) and then start walking a bunch, it does tend to make me need to poop.

I find that I want to go poop after I eat.

The only thing I can think of is a ritual thing. If I brush my teeth, I’ll need to urinate after.

If he doesn’t need to urinate a lot he might be dehydrated. Is his urine very yellow?

When I was young I could go hours and hours and not need to pee. I didn’t need to go right when I woke up in the morning either.

Does he feel bloated or have any discomfort? Is there any reason to think he has a medical problem? I’m assuming not since you didn’t mention anything.

For me its changing positions that works for me.

Walking around, especially going up and down stairs gets me moving very quickly in the morning.

I think that not all of you read the detail part. @JLeslie did. This is just about voiding.

But @JLeslie It’s about voiding too much. As in if a person has diabetes maybe. Except if the voiding too much happens only whenthe person is in one position (I’m not sure which position)

@flo Drinking warm water helps me.

If someone constantly has diarrhea @Flo, they should see a doctor.

The child should see a doctor, is really the correct answer. If there are any concerns or questions, the doctor is the one to ask, especially if it’s a child.

A wide range of problems can cause chronic diarrhea; some of the most common causes include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis), malabsorption syndromes in which food cannot be digested and absorbed, and chronic infections.
