A TikTok doctor who shares medical advice with her followers has revealed the ‘proper way to pee’ – and people are shocked by the news.

Dr Teresa Irwin said that over the years she has noticed that patients’ health issues are often linked to a lack of education on how to treat their bodies.

The self-proclaimed “vaginacologist” from the US has now said that women have been peeing the wrong way and she’s taken it upon herself to educate people.

Dr Irwin is an expert in female pelvic dysfunctions but has also worked as a surgeon, and now she’s shared her knowledge with her 84,000 followers.

Dr Irwin, who uploads on TikTok as @dr.teresa.irwin, racked up 671,000 views, 122,000 likes, and droves of comments with her recent video.

One viewer said: “I had no idea there was a proper way to pee!”

Someone else commented: “Water water and I cannot stress this enough WATER.”
