Hello Beautiful Community!
 
Thank you for your continued enquiries. Today I am going to get a little personal on a subject we generally don’t like to discuss ….
 
Did you ever think that your “sneeze-pee” or occasional leakage might be caused by constipation?
 
It makes sense that chronic straining from constipation can lead to: weakening of the pelvic floor muscles; excessive stress on pelvic organs and nerves; as well as bladder dysfunction and recurring accidental bowel leakage. Right?
 
But how does constipation affect the bladder? The rectum is located very close to the bladder. When the rectum is overfull (due to constipation), it can press on the bladder, reducing the amount of urine the bladder can hold. This may cause you to actually “leak” urine or make you feel as if you to need to pass urine right away or frequently.

For a bit of interest today, let's look at a Fun Fact:

At 44 characters, the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle (occasionally shortened alaeque nasi muscle) has the longest name of all the human muscles!
 
Historically known as Otto's muscle, it dilates the nostril and elevates the upper lip, enabling one to snarl. Elvis Presley is famous for his use of this expression, earning the muscle's nickname "The Elvis muscle". 
 
Remember, even the muscles of the face and scalp can get tired and sore. Be sure to include your hard-working snarl into your massage treatment!
