A member asked:
How much urine can safely be retained in the bladder?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Residual volume should be less than 50 cc but there is true danger if residual is higher, only will frequency (frequent voiding) bother you when the residual volume is too high.

The urinary bladder can store up to 500 ml of urine in women and 700 ml in men. People already feel the need to urinate (pee) when their bladder has between 200 and 350 ml of urine in it.
