A member asked:
If the bladder has filled to such an extent that it has stopped working, ie like a balloon that has been blown up and then deflated, can it recover?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Will take a few weeks. There are some meds that can lead to this problem. Make sure you are aware of the cause.
