By repeatedly pushing inwards and slightly upwards, at a rate of about once per second, to a distance of about two centimeters, at times of significant urinary hesitancy it is often possible either to initiate spontaneous flow, or to pass a small quantity of urine with each push, such that after a minute or two one can empty the bladder to a satisfactory degree.
