How to tell if i have damaged by bladder and bowels by not exercising them by holding it a little?

Retention not good: Chronic retention of of urine &/or stool well after you feel need to uruinate or defecate can stretch bladder or bowel. Eventually can lose ability to contract impaing voiding or passing bowel movements. Advise against. Al ittle is probably safe, a lot isn't.
