A member asked:
Is it possible to die from holding urine for too long resulting in a burst bladder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: I have never heard of it happening, but i guess if the bladder wall is very thin and you are truly good at holding urine, most of the time, your urge and ability to hold urine is less than the pressure of the bladder to squeeze out the urine.
