This question came to my mind after the ordeal I passed through yesterday.

I closed early from work yesterday, and I felt like passing out urine, since I took a lot of water the whole day. As usual, I just dismissed the thought and started going home. It actually became an issue when I was inside the bus home and realised the urge to go ease myself was going strong. Yesterday's traffic was something else cos of th "Experience" show and the "Shiloh" people that were finding their way to their venues in the evening. Because of this I spent hours in traffic, and couldn't come down to ease myself.

By the time the bus stopped, I was literally sweating and I was actually starting to walk funny. It was obvious to any inquisitive eye that something was wrong down there. I started looking for an available place to pass out urine before I get home but I couldn't just stand on the road to pee. I really thought my bladder was gonna burst, even my s.ex organ was feeling heavy. I finally got home and the best feeling in the world was when I actually did the thing. So euphoric. Lol.

Anyway, I just want to ask the medical people in the house if someone can have complications or something from a filled-up bladder.

yea complications can arise from that. The bladder could likely burst open if too much pressure is exerted on it. Lol @ your story

You guys are lucky, at least you ca do your bizneez in any street corner. How many women do you see squating by a roadside? If its like that bladders can easily get damaged, we would been hearing several of such cases by now.

Lol. True though.

Yes,its possible to have complications or even die from such acute retention of urine. Over Prolongation of urine can trigger acute retention especially in the older people.

Now that's an insight. Thanks for the input

could incontinence in some elderly people also be the as a result of urine retention? I've noticed it affects more women than men and as you know, we tend to hold it in more than men.

incontinence means someone can't hold urine. There are types of incontinence,one of which is over flow incontinence. This type of incontinence can result from chronic retention of urine. Its commoner in men than in women,and in the elderly than younger ones.

I would be worried about vesicoureteral reflux more than anything. Once your bladder has reached capacity it will start to spasm and leak on its own.
