Taking time out of a busy day to pee can seem impossible, but how long should you really be holding it?
The Continence Foundation of Australia says a normal functioning bladder can hold about 10 to 13.5 ounces of urine throughout the day and roughly 27 fluid ounces at night, and a healthy bladder should pass urine five to six times a day.
Holding in urine for too long (to the point of pain or discomfort) can lead to a urinary tract infection, or even a more serious– a kidney infection.
If you think you have either condition you should see a doctor, because if they are left untreated they can be serious.
