Is there a difference in bladder size/volume between males and females? if so, could you please give approximate difference?

Dr. Gerald Mandell answered

Specializes in Nuclear Medicine

No difference: No real difference in bladder size of men and women. Location and shape different in woman residing with uterus located posteriorly. With child birth, straining , and menstruation women's bladder appears thinner. The pelvic floor gets stretched out, you can get weakened pelvic muscles.
