Question 2

how much can the human bladder hold?

Accepted Answer

Normally to 1200cc: Between 800 - 1200cc.

Question 3

how much urine can the human bladder hold?

Accepted Answer

Varies; 400-600mL.: There is, of course, a wide range. You can say that the average male bladder capacity is around 400-600ml, or 13-20 fluid ounces. This would be the volume voided after holding urine to the point of severe urgency. If the patient is under anesthesia and the bladder distended with water, the bladder can usually hold even more, around 1000ml or 33 fl. Oz.

Question 4

can hold a litre of fluid without voiding; do i have an enlarged bladder?

Accepted Answer

Yes: One should try to empty their bladder every 2-3 hours to avoid bladder emptying problems in the future. Chronic overdistention may lead to inability to void in the future. In the most severe cases kidney failure can occur. I see this problem once or twice a year. "never pass up the opportunity to urinate and void frequently".

Question 5

can i train my bladder to stretch and hold more fluid by holding in my urine when i feel the urge to go?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, holding your urine a little longer each time can help retrain the bladder for certain types of urinary urgency. At times training your bladder to a specific voiding schedule is helpful also.

Question 6

how much can your bladder hold ?

Accepted Answer

Adult -&gt; 5 - 600mL: (17 - 20 oz) calculation for children is to add 2 to  their age in years ; express it in oz.  Thus normal bladder volume for a 5-year-old is 7 oz or 210ml, 12 oz or 350 ml for a ten-year-old. Teen-agers have an adult size bladder. Full-term newborn babies have about a 50 - 60 ml bladder capacity, just about 2 oz. Of course some adults can stretch their bladders to hold a liter.

Question 7

big bladder that holds much urine and cannot expelled enough during day. can diurectics work?

Accepted Answer

Bladder function: Diuretics increase urine production but have nothing to do with bladder function.  If you are having difficulty voiding, see a urologist for proper evaluation of your bladder function.

Question 8

how much urine can a massively distended bladder hold?

Accepted Answer

Liters: A normal bladder would be massively distended with 1000 ml urine. I have seen abnormally distended  bladders such as chronically distened from obstruction, with hypotonic neurogenic bladder, after intestinal bladder augmentation or prune belly syndrome hold in xs of 2000 ml.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Urine: That is the fluid which is normally in the bladder.

Question 10
