on Wednesday to share the three things she would never do in the interest of gynecological health — **** in the shower, treat a ******** infection with garlic cloves or yogurt and ignore bothersome symptoms.

She imparts, “The first thing I would never do is **** in the shower, or more importantly, **** standing up.”

Qureshey says that people promote the practice as better for the environment, claiming it saves upwards of 5,000 gallons of water a year — but she finds that those benefits are not worth the downsides.

“It is one, not very hygienic, but more important than that, it will ******** your pelvic floor, and also it might create mental associations where you hear water running and all of a sudden you need to run to the bathroom,” Qureshey explained.

“If you **** in the shower, or turn on the faucet, or turn on the shower and then sit on the ******* to **** while the shower is running, you’re creating an association in the brain between the sound of running water and having to ****,” she said.

This association could possibly cause “***** issues” when you hear running water, said Jeffrey-Thomas, adding that the position is also not conducive to pelvic floor relaxation.

“Your pelvic floor isn’t going to relax appropriately, which means that you aren’t really going to be emptying your bladder super well,” Jeffrey-Thomas said.

argues you should only go when you really have to go, “When you’re about to leave the house, and you’re like, ‘I don’t have to ****, but I may have to **** so I’m gonna go ****’ … if you do this often, your bladder is never filling up properly.”

She continued, “It’s not filling to full capacity. You’re peeing when it’s halfway full. So you may have the urge to **** more frequently because it’s only filling halfway… You’re essentially sensitizing your body to work at lower volumes than needed.”

Later in her video, Qureshey advised folks to avoid home remedies and suppositories like garlic and yogurt, “Those things are not gonna treat whatever infection you’re dealing with, and they might make things worse.”

She pleads with patients, “Before you go shoving things up places, talk to your doctor, please.”

Qureshey also urged her followers not to allow embarrassment or ***** stop them from seeking medical treatment.

She assured viewers that she and her fellow practitioners have “seen it all, heard it all, smelled it all … We’re not judging. Talk to your doctor.”
