  • Healthy Toileting Practices
    Healthy Toileting Practices Bowel movements: Start a toilet time routine. Choose a specific time during the day when your child will sit on the toilet to pass a bowel movement (make a poop) and have them use the toilet at the same time every day. The body is usually ready for a bowel movement 20-30 minutes after eating, so a good time to try would be after breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Your child’s stool (poop) should be soft and easy to pass, and look like a snake or sausage. To help your child have regular bowel movements, they should eat fruits and vegetables, and drink plenty of water. If your child is constipated they will be unable to have a bowel movement or have painful and difficult bowel movements. Please call us with any questions or concerns about constipation. Hygiene and proper cleaning are important. Please remember to wipe from “front to back”. Urination: Remind your child to sit on the toilet AT LEAST every 3 hours, or more often if they need to. Give your child enough time to sit on the toilet and try to urinate (pee). Remind your child not to rush while they urinate. Ask your child to breathe deeply and take their time when trying to urinate to relax the pelvic floor (no squeezing or pushing with the tummy). Ask them to take deep breaths and blow out the air slowly to help them relax. Double voiding: Try to have your child urinate. After your child urinates and says they are “finished”, wipe them from front to back and ask them to stand up and move around and then sit back down on the toilet and try again.

    ISLE ROYALE NATIONAL PARK Leave No Trace Outdoor Skills & Ethics Leave No Trace Outdoor Skills and Ethics ISLE ROYALE NATIONAL PARK Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics November, 2004 Leave No Trace — Isle Royale National Park Skills & Ethics 1 Wildland Ethics "Ethical and moral questions and how we answer them may determine whether primal scenes will continue to be a source of joy and comfort to future generations. The decisions are ours and we have to search our minds and souls for the right answers..." "The real significance of wilderness is a cultural matter. It is far more than hunting, fishing, hiking, camping or canoeing; it has to do with the human spirit." —Sigurd F. Olson ...and so we visit wild places to discover ourselves, to let our spirits run with the graceful canoe and journey through the beckoning forests. The wilderness is good for us. It enables us to discover who we really are, and to explore who we are really meant to be. It is the nature of wild places that gives us the space to slow the pace of our lives, to becalm the storms of everyday life, to gain perspective on the things we truly value. Sigurd Olson needed wild places...they gave much to him, as they do to us—and, so, we should be eager to give back. Our favorite places— those whose forests have welcomed us, whose lakes have refreshed us, whose sunsets have inspired awe—are not ours alone. They are a treasured resource, there for the good of all who seek their own true spirit through solitude and adventure.

  • Is There an Association Between Urinary Tract Infection and Toilet Type?
    Original Research / Özgün Araştırma Is There an Association Between Urinary Tract Infection and Toilet Type? İdrar Yolu Enfeksiyonu ile Tuvalet Tipi Arasında İlişki Var mı? Basri Furkan Dağcıoğlu*1, Erhan Şimşek1, Ramazan İlbey Tepeli1 ABSTRACT Aim: Many metabolic, physiological, and social factors play a role in the formation of infections. The results of the studies investigating the association between toilet type and urinary tract infection (UTI) are contradictory. This study aims to investigate the relationship between UTI and toilet habits and toilet type used. Methods: A cross-sectional study, including 344 participants between the ages of 18-60, was conducted. Sociodemographic information, toilet preferences, toilet habits, diagnosed chronic diseases, and histories of UTI were questioned with a structured questionnaire. Results: Front-to-back wiping, use of urinals in public places, and use of toilet paper were associated with a history of UTI in some genders. No significant relationship was observed between the parameters of general toilet preference, type of toilet preferred at home, and the frequency of water closet use, and UTI history in both genders. Conclusion: The toilet preference and some toileting habits may play a role in UTI. Further studies are required to reveal the real significance of this association. Keywords: Urinary tract infection, toilet type, water closet, squatting toilet, toileting behaviors. ÖZET Giriş: Enfeksiyonların oluşumunda birçok metabolik, fizyolojik ve sosyal faktör rol oynar. Tuvalet tipi ile idrar yolu enfeksiyonu (İYE) arasındaki ilişkiyi araştıran çalışmaların sonuçları çelişkilidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, İYE ile tuvalet alışkanlıkları ve kullanılan tuvalet türü arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Yöntem: 18-60 yaş arası 344 katılımcının yer aldığı kesitsel bir çalışma gerçekleştirildi.

Sources: Articles published between 1960 and 2007, identified via the MEDLINE, Cochrane Collaboration, ERIC, Web of Science, LILACS and SciELO databases plus queries on the Google search engine; a search of related articles, references of articles, by author and of pediatrics societies. A total of 473 articles were examined and 85 of these were selected for this review. Summary of the findings: Parents have unrealistic expectations about the age at which diapers can be withdrawn, not taking child development into account. Toilet training strategies have not changed over recent decades, and in the majority of countries the age at which children are trained has been postponed.

  • A Concept of Clean Toilet from the Islamic Perspective
    A CONCEPT OF CLEAN TOILET FROM THE ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE Asiah Abdul Rahim Department ofArchitecture Kulliyyah afArchitecture and Environmental Design INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA Abstract Islam is the official religion of Malaysia and more than half of the population is Muslim. As Muslims, the aspect of cleanliness is one of the most important and basic things that should be followed and practised in everyday life. Allah loves those cleanse themselves as quoted in the holy Qur'an. .. God loves those who turn to Him, and He loves those who cleanse themselves ". (Surah Al-Baqarah: 222) There is a growing awareness of public toilets among the public and authorities which can be seen in the events such as the "A Clean Toilet Campaign Seminar" held at national level end of July 2003 in lohor Bahru, Johor. Criticisms by visitors and locals stirred the level of consciousness among those responsible directly or indirectly for clean and effective public facilities.Nowadays, toilet is no longer perceived as merely a small and insignificant part of a building. It contributes and serves more than the initial purposes intended. Due to socio-economic changes, a toilet has been diversified and become multi-functions. It has surpassed its traditional role as a place to empty bowels or urinates to serve as comfortable vicinity with conveniences. In developed countries such as Japan and Korea, a public toilet has become a communal area where people could do face washing, showering, freshen up or taking care of their kids and so on. In designing a public toilet, some elements should be highlighted particularly on the understanding of users needs.

  • Caring for Your Bladder After Out-Patient Surgery at Von Voigtlander Women’S Hospital
    Caring for Your Bladder after Out-Patient Surgery at Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital Sometimes, surgery and pain medicine (anesthetics) can affect your bladder for several hours. This information will help you care for your bladder after surgery. How does surgery affect my bladder? If you were pregnant, your bladder may have already lost some of its tone. There can be some temporary nerve issues after surgery, which decrease your sensation (the feeling that you need to urinate). Temporary swelling after surgery can also affect your urination. If urine remains in the bladder after urinating, it can cause stretching of the bladder. It can also cause damage to the muscles of the bladder. This can lead to permanent bladder injury. What do I need to watch for? The following signs and symptoms may indicate a bladder problem. Trouble starting to void, or urinate, especially after surgery. Feeling like you bladder is not empty after urinating. Dribbling, or leaking urine after urination. Needing to urinate often, but only urinating small amounts. Needing to strain to start a stream of urine. Needing to go often through the night. Feeling of fullness in your lower abdomen. You may not have any symptoms at all. If you feel any of the above symptoms, or if you suspect that you might have a problem with your bladder before you are discharged, call the nurse. Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology - 1 - What can I do to avoid problems? Try to urinate at least every 2 to 3 hours If you cannot urinate immediately after surgery, tell your nurse.

  • Urinary Tract Infections What Is a UTI?
    Urinary Tract Infections What is a UTI? Bacteria that cause urinary tract infections are often spread from the rectal/anal area to the urethra and then into the bladder or kidneys. These bacteria can cause: Cystitis (bladder infection) Pyelonephritis (kidney infection) Urethritis (inflammation of the urethra, the tube that drains urine from the bladder) Urethral syndrome (painful urination without evidence of bacterial infection in the urine) Who are at risk for UTIs? Women are more likely to develop UTIs because their urethras are short, making it easy for bacteria to spread to the bladder. UTIs are more likely to occur in women who: Are newly sexually active or have a new sexual partner Are past menopause Are pregnant Have a history of diabetes, sickle-cell anemia, stroke, kidney stones, or any illness that causes the bladder to be paralyzed or to fail to empty completely Signs and symptoms of UTIs Pain and/or burning with urination Urgency or frequency of urination Blood or pus in urine Strong smelling urine Pain in lower pelvis, stomach, lower back, or on sides just above waist level Pain during sexual intercourse Chills, fever, fatigue, nausea or vomiting Urinating frequently during the night Diagnosing UTIs Laboratory analysis of urine (called a UA or Urine Analysis) Personal history of signs and symptoms Physical exam including a pelvic exam, if necessary For person who suffers from frequent UTIs, further testing is usually ordered Treatment Antibiotics for 3-10 days depending on severity of infection Increasing water and juice intake to more than 8 eight oz. glasses per day Tylenol or aspirin for fever and backache o See a doctor if fever is over 100 degrees Heating pad or hot water bottle applied to lower abdomen or back How can I help prevent a UTI? After a bowel movement (BM), wipe yourself from front to back to prevent germs in the stool from getting near your urethra.

  • Toileting Behaviors Related to Urination in Women: a Scoping Review
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Review Toileting Behaviors Related to Urination in Women: A Scoping Review Chen Wu 1 , Kaikai Xue 2 and Mary H. Palmer 1,* 1 School of Nursing, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA; [email protected] 2 School of Nursing, Xuzhou Medical University, Xuzhou 221000, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 September 2019; Accepted: 17 October 2019; Published: 19 October 2019 Abstract: This scoping review explores the state of science regarding women’s toileting behaviors, gaps in knowledge, and areas for future research. Online databases were searched to identify papers published in English between January 2010 through July 2019; the search identified 25 articles. The Toileting Behaviors–Women’s Elimination Behaviors scale has been published in four validated language versions and used in 17 of the 25 studies. The most frequent behaviors include concern about public toilet cleanliness, delaying urination when busy or away from home, and using different toileting postures at and away from home. Determinants of toileting behaviors include environmental factors, chronic health conditions, and cognitive/psychological factors. Associations were found between toileting behaviors and lower urinary tract symptoms and between toileting postures and uroflowmetric parameters and post-void residual volume. Strategies that address modifiable determinants of toileting behaviors should be developed and tested in future research. Furthermore, little is known about the toileting behaviors and bladder health in older women and women from developing countries. Rigorous studies are needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms of toileting behaviors, the nature of associations between toileting behaviors and lower urinary tract symptoms, and effects of the environment on women’s toileting behaviors.
