I had bladder issues and used to control my water intake to not have an accident when out and about. When I finally saw the bladder specialist (I was on the wait for months) she said not to do that as it makes the urine more irritable and can make your symptoms worse.
Have most of your daily water upto and including early afternoon. Minimise caffeine and citrus. Maximize Pelvic exercises.
