Can it be harmful to hold in urinating for a long time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Holding urine : Holding urine for a long period of time can potentially damage your bladder. Bladder muscle has unique ability to contract as well as "stretch." sustain bladder distention will lead to a permanent loss of the "stretchiness / elasticity" to your bladder. As a result, you may experience inability to empty your bladder completely on a permanent basis. www.peedoc.com @drhtay.
