What is the importance of the urethra?
The cause of female urethral instability is still controversial. With the help of this retrospective analysis of 1168 continuous long-term recordings of the intraurethral pressure at the maximum point of urethral pressure, the correlation between pressure variations (UPV) and simultaneous bladder instability was investigated. It could be stated that clinically important UPV (more than 15 cmH2O) are found more often in women who suffer from signs of bladder instability (defined as low bladder compliance combined with uninhibited detrusor contractions and/or urinary leakage) than in patients without signs of unstable bladder.

What do blood vessels bladder and airway have in common?

Yes. This technique is used by actors when it is necessary to pee while filming a movie.
The bladder is a mighty strong muscle and is unlikely to rupture just because you declined the opportunity to urinate. It's much more likely that well before the bladder burst, the urge to void would simply take over, and you would urinate whether you wanted to or not. However, the bladder can rupture under certain circumstances, such as:
- Major trauma, for example a pelvic fracture
- Surgical complication
- A bladder tumor that weakens a portion of the muscular bladder wall
- Damage to the bladder from radiation
