Can the bladder explode if pee is held in to long?
If you need to pee and you hold it in for too long, it can tear the linings in your bladder and permanently damage your bladder. Not going to the bathroom can also give you a bladder infection. No, it doesn't explode.
Can you have a bladder prolapse and a rectal prolapse at the same time?
Yes you can! I have stage three bladder prolapse with NO incontinence or sexual pain during intercourse. What I have is a small "bulge" on the right side of my vaginal opening that is sometimes pretty much unnoticeable, and at other times a bit bothersome but no worse.
After reading stacks and stacks of information on prolapse, and their surgery's' poor success rates (Some sources say that almost 1 in 3 prolapse surgeries result in further need for future surgery, and incontinence developing where there was none before.),I'll avoid any surgery I can till physicians perfect the surgeries that are now available to us women.
Currently, I use a estrogen cream twice weekly and it seems to do the trick for me. And remember, I have stage threebladder prolapse, one that most sources on the subject say always calls for surgery. My gynecologist does not agree.
Prolapse is an often unexpected development of menopause that no one tells you about till you have it. There should be more information made available to younger women when so that many of them can possibly avoid these surgeries before we are candidates for them in the first place. My suggestion is to check out everything and choose surgery as your absolute LAST option. It's your decision, in the long run, and it will effect you for the rest of your life.
In any living mammalian body there are mechanisms in place that regulate the blood volume.
When a mammal drinks the water enters the blood and has the effect of increasing the volume of blood in the body.
The body detects the increase in blood volume/pressure and releases hormones which switch on the kidneys.
The kidneys begin to remove water (along with dissolved metabolic waste which is also in the blood) until the blood volume returns to normal.
Thus the volume of urine produced is in proportion with the volume of fluid consumed (allowing for loss as a result of sweat and respiration).
There are cases where this mechanism fails. One of these is if a person in immersed in water for a time. A vertical swimmer experiences a higher pressure in the lower limbs than in the upper body causing blood that naturally pools in the legs to be forced into the upper body. When this happens the body mechanisms see this as an increasing blood volume and the kidneys are turned on (which is why you want to pee when you swim).
If a person who has been in water for some time (peeing) is then suddenly pulled out of the water in a vertical position. The blood re-pools in the legs and is therefore extracted form the upper body causing a sudden drop in blood pressure (clinical shock). which can prove fatal.
Thus the amount you drink largely determines the amount of urine produced.
What is being born with the opening of the urethra on the upper surface of the peniis?
Epispadias - is a congenital abnormality of the urethral opening. In the male with epispadias, the urethral opening is located on the upper surface of the penis. In the female with epispadias, the urethral opening is in the region of the clitoris.

No. The clitoris is a small sensitive and erectile part of the female genitals. Sometimes it is referred to as the g-spot. The urethra has an opening nearby and that body part drains the bladder of urine. Males usually have one just like it at the tip of the penis.
What is the bladder able to expand as urine accumulates within due to the presence of?
Transitional Epithilium
What happens to the urine that is formed in the kidney?
The urine will go in the urinary bladder in some processes and your body will have a sign that you should take out the urine in your body.
After filtering by the kidneys, urine flows to the bladder via two tubes called ureters. One ureter links each kidney to the bladder.

What are the symptoms for overactive bladder?
It is the strong, sudden need to urinate due to bladder spasms or contractions.
Causes, incidence, and risk factorsA person's ability to hold urine depends on normal function of the lower urinary tract, kidneys, and nervous system. The person must also have the physical and mental ability to recognize and respond to the urge to urinate.
The bladder's ability to fill and store urine requires a working sphincter muscle (which controls the flow of urine out of the body) and a stable bladder wall muscle (detrusor).
The process of urination involves two phases:
Filling and storage
Emptying
During the filling and storage phase, the bladder stretches so it can hold the increasing amount of urine. The bladder of an average person can hold 350 ml to 550 ml of urine. Generally, a person feels like they need to urinate when there is approximately 200 ml of urine in the bladder.
The nervous system tells you that you need to urinate. It also allows the bladder to continue to fill.
The emptying phase requires the detrusor muscle to contract, forcing urine out of the bladder. The sphincter muscle must relax at the same time, so that urine can flow out of the body.
The bladder of an infant automatically contracts when a certain volume of urine is collected in the bladder. As the child grows older and learns to control urination, part of the brain (cerebral cortex) helps prevent bladder muscle contraction. This allows urination to be delayed until the person is ready to use the bathroom.
Undesired bladder muscle contractions may occur from nervous system (neurological) problems and bladder irritation.
What is the cause of a constant burning pain between the rectum and the urethra?
A infection or a STD. I highly suggest you going to a doctor ASAP

Yes,, If your bladder is full when it is hit, it can burst upward through its dome and into your body cavity. That is a life threatening emergency. Even if it does not burst, it can be damaged within its layered wall and develop scar tissue. If you are hit in your bladder, see a physician.
