There are people who believe drinking urine obliges the body to address the same conditions twice and that this can stimulate the immune system. Believers will maintain most people suffer predjudices against the practice of drinking urine that are excessive or even wrong.
However, we probably have such prejudices because contemporary medical methods have looked for more reliable processes andone of our attitudes is for "cleanliness."
After the first rinsing-out portion, the rest of the urine has been filtered by the kidneys and is relatively (almost) sterile and contains things that have been in one's own body already. But urine will not remain sterile for very long outside the body.
Depending on many factors, the person's state of health or disease, the person's fluid intake throughout the day, the person's consumption of certain foods, whether the person has drunk alcohol, and many, many other variables, urine may taste a little bitter and a little salty. If a person is diabetic and "spilling" sugar into the urine, their urine may smell like rotten oranges and taste sickeningly sweet.
How much is the functional capacity of the urinary bladder?
400 to 600 ml. About 20 ounces on average. It is the same for both men and women, with some variation amongst individuals.
----
The correct answer is that the urinary bladder capacity averages 700-800 ml. It is smaller for females because the uterus occupies the space just superior to the urinary bladder.
----
I believe the term "healthy" bladder must apply in the answer. A Kidney/Bladder Specialist informed me a "healthy" bladder is around the 400 ml (cc) range & AFTER a person voids, about 100 ml (100 cc) "typically" remains.
Age is a factor, as the bladder tends to have the "potential" to stretch & store a much larger quantity, meaning 4 or more times the normal volume (& size) of a "healthy" bladder.
When larger quantities of urine remain AFTER voiding, a physician will recommend options, one of which is self-catheterization (ouch!).
----
Oliguria is scanty urine output. This is clinically classified as between 100-400 ml per day in humans. This could be a sign of dehydrations, renal failure, hypovolemic shock, urinary tract infections, or pre-eclampsia, among other things. The most extreme type of oliguria is called anuria, which means the absence of urine (more specifically, less than 50 ml a day).
Why do men urinate after cumming?
Most likely, the body is producing urine at a faster rate because it is excited and all systems are working faster.

Doesn't everyone know how to hold it in?
You should be able to just tense your muscles...
But it's bad to hold in pee,
so just find a bathroom
and then you won't worry about having to
hold it in anymore.
Even if you're a boy.
or you can just rub your ***** and when you think it is about to slip put your finger right on top of your pee whole. i do that and it works for me. it stops the pee from coming out . whatever you do not remove your finger off until you have a nice firm grip on your muscles in your pelvic area. if you do release be fore you have a nice firm grip with your muscles it will spill out.
A boy can wrap an elastic band around his private bit to prevent peeing for a long time, to make it less painful, wrap a handcherchief around first and then put the elastic band around that. Drink as much as you can to fill up your bladder. After an hour or so, remove the band to allow some blood flow, for a few minutes, you might have to hold on in otherways for a few minutes, then replace the elastic band.
Do this for as long as you can stand, and after a few sessions of doing this, your bladder will have stretched and you will be able to hold on for ages without any of these tricks. Girls will end up just wetting their knickers if they have a 'who can hold it the longest competition' with you as it is just not possible for a girl to train their bladder like this.
This method is a bit painful, but as it's impossible to pee, your bladder has no choice but to stretch. Dont over do it at 1st, build up gradually, you will soon have bladder to outwait any girl
Can an STD cause urinary tract infections?
One reason STDs spread is because people think they can only be infected if they have sexual intercourse. That's wrong. A person can get some STDs, like herpes or genital warts, through skin-to-skin contact with an infected area or sore.
Another myth about STDs is that you can't get them if you have oral or anal sex. That's also wrong because the viruses or bacteria that cause STDs can enter the body through tiny cuts or tears in the mouth and anus, as well as the genitals.
STDs also spread easily because you can't tell whether someone has an infection. In fact, some people with STDs don't even know that they have them. These people are in danger of passing an infection on to their sex partners without even realizing it.

Inhaled steroids for the treatment of asthma can cause a fatty lump.
The body tends to use fatty/lipid based substances to neutralize acidity in the body. Fatty tumors in a particular area indicate a high degree of acidity and inflammation in that area of the body. Acidity accumulates from an acidic diet and lifestyle (i.e. stress, pharmaceutical drugs, etc.), a congested lymph system, and under-functioning elimination channels where the acids are normally flushed out of the body (e.g. kidneys). Alkalizing the diet and cleansing the body with a high percentage of fresh fruits and vegetables, increasing hydration to flush out acids/toxins, activating the lymph system with regular movement/exercise, and rebuilding the elimination channels with herbs will address the underlying causes of the body forming fatty tumors.Where is urine excreted in the kidney?
excretion of urine does not occur in kidneys. Urea and wastes and urine are filtered in the renal corpuscle of the nephron tubule in the kidney. The wastes that are secreted into the tubules and not reabsorbed travel down tubules to urethra and excreted outside of body by urination.
