Therefore, women unfortunately often feel like nobody can help them and that they are alone. The impact of female urologic problems can be quite dramatic. Often times, women cannot sleep because of the extreme urinary frequency, and personal relations can also be impacted because these women must also abstain from intercourse. However, there is hope. Although some specific problems can be chronic, there are management techniques which can control the discomfort and interruption caused by these problems.
Women can lead a normal life.
The bladder has the ability to store a large volume of urine. Since it is elastic, the bladder can normally stretch to allow room for additional urine even when it is full. The urinary bladder can normally hold 250 to 350cc of urine before the urge to void becomes conscious. When the pressure to void is realized, stretch receptors in the bladder wall are activated. Once activated, these stretch receptors send a message to the nervous system.
