If You Hold Pee For Too Long, It May Lead To This
It might not feel like it, but the adult bladder can hold as much as half a litre of pee before you'll feel the need to 'go'.
Your body knows how much is in there because your bladder wall is filled with tiny receptors that send a message to your brain when the bladder reaches capacity.
Just to keep it real: Peeing your pants is a real possibility because the crossingyourlegsreallytight trick is only going to work for so long. "As your bladder gets fuller and fuller, there's a good chance you aren't going to make it to the bathroom on time," Streicher says. Imagine your bladder like a water balloon that's filling up — the longer you hold off going to the bathroom, the bigger and heavier it gets. And the muscles that contract to keep your bladder sealed can only withstand the pressure for so long before it will start to leak.
So the next time the bathroom feels like 11 steps too far away and you just can't even, think about this: Do you really want to be the grown-ass woman who just peed her pants because she didn't feel like prying herself away from her deadline? It may not be a super scary medical condition, but still.
Another unpleasant thing that might follow is that your bladder might get stretched out. One of the big side effects of an overextended bladder? Your body may start missing cues that your bladder needs emptied, and those messages your brain sends to your body that it needs to go to the bathroom are important (for obvious reasons).
But wait — before you start bolting to the bathroom every time you feel a pang to pee, know that "you don't have to urinate the minute you feel the urge to go," Streicher says. "A good measure is that it should never get to the point that you're uncomfortable. Holding it to that point is too long."
