Can holding in your urine cause an bladder infection?
Yes-- The bladder is a muscle that stretches to hold urine and contracts when the urine is released.

When the bladder is weakened it may not empty completely and some urine is left in the bladder which may increase the risk of urinary tract infection or bladder infection.
