A member asked:
Once my bladder is almost or at full capacity, is there a specific time minimum i am supposed to be able to hold on to be considered normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is not a good idea to hold on at all when you feel the bladder is full. That can predispose to bladder infections and ultimately kidney infections. The urinary tract is supposed to flow to prevent bacterial buildup.
