A member asked:

Adult males have time limit when if you do not pee it is time for a catheter etc. what is the time limit with a 2.8liter bladder? how much liquid do i drink? camera put thru prostate to bladder says no problems no obstruction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If studies show no MECHANICAL blockage, but you have a bladder that big, it indicates the emptying nerve controls are gone. The detrusor muscle of the bladder is an automated system where it triggers bladder emptying after giving you a signal to find a place to go.. If the nerves are damaged, the message does not go through. Emptying doesn't happen Treatment options are few & require a urologist.
