Dr Azhari on Mediacorp TV Show Sembang Sihat Season 1, Ep 7: Bladder Health & Urinary Control

In this episode, Dr Azhari addresses the common yet often stigmatised issues surrounding bladder wellness and urinary control. He explains that the bladder is a complex muscular organ that can be easily irritated by lifestyle factors, such as high caffeine intake, spicy foods, and poor hydration.

The discussion features guests Dalina Jaapar and Hans Hamid, who share their personal experiences and perspectives on managing bladder-related challenges in daily life.

A key highlight of the episode is the “Warning Signs” in your urine. Dr Azhari explains how urine colour can serve as a vital indicator of your internal health, potentially signalling underlying conditions or dehydration. He also emphasises the physiological dangers of “holding it in” (menahan kencing), noting that this habit can lead to bacterial growth, bladder wall thickening, and long-term dysfunction.

The session, conducted in Malay with English subtitles, serves as a practical guide to help viewers understand that urinary issues are treatable medical conditions. By introducing solutions such as pelvic floor strengthening and proper hydration monitoring, Dr Azhari encourages the audience to pay closer attention to their body’s signals and to seek professional advice if they notice persistent changes or discomfort.
