Why shouldn't women urinate when they don't need to?

Best Answer

The urinary bladder responds to feeling "full" and signals in the brain allow urination to occur. Therefore, the majority of women will not have the urge to urinate until the bladder is sufficiently "full". About the only reason people should not attempt to urinate frequently is that the bladder's sensory mechanisms may begin to reduce the total volume the bladder can hold. But generally, it is okay to urinate every few hours. Older women or those who have had pregnancies may need to use a 2-hour bladder retraining program to reduce the risk of urinary incontinence.

Why does it take a man a long time to urinate?

Actually, some women urinate for a long time too. The male bladder is slightly larger in innate capacity than the female, due to differences in the internal structure of the pelvic area. However, many women stretch out their bladders by waiting overlong to urinate, and whomever - male or female- waits a long time to go will need to spend longer emptying their distended bladder.
