A member asked:
How much urine should be in the bladder after voiding? doing cic for chronic bladder retention and waiting on my follow up with urologist.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ideally zero: Ideally one should empty the bladder completely with each void. We generally recommend cic at intervals sufficient to keep the post-void residual volume less than about 250 cc. Intervals range from once daily to every 4 hours, depending on post-void residual volume.
