So i had to go to the doctors and get my bladder capacity measured due to potential bladder stones(don't worry i didn't). So i basically had to really really have to pee when i measured.

The nurse gave me a liter bottle, and i basically filled it to the brim and i still had some in me.

So when i walked out to ask for another the nurse looked shocked, but went and got me another one. In which i filled to the 500ml mark.

So when the doctor spoke to me, he said i had an very large bladder capacity.

Is that normal? I didn't have the guts to ask him....

Idk, well, a big bladder so u can hold much more than others, eh I guess it's normal, maybe even good! I'm not a professional tho. Lol. I'm not sure, I guess it's fine as long as u don't get stones and bad stuff.

Not exactly a puberty question, this belong more in VT General Hospital.

But it's not strange, weird or bad. Everyone is different and has different bodies. Nothing at all to worry about. And never be ashamed or embarrassed to ask a doctor a question. =]

Like Brighter.Tomorrow said, "this belong more in VT general Hospital" but I will help you :D from what I just read on Google the typical human bladder can hold about 500-600ml of urine so if you have filled up 1 and a half 1 litre bottles it seems that your bladder is about 3 times the normal size :eek: which is quite scarry, but hey, everyone's different.

If he didn't say that there were any issues with that, it should be fine

The average bladder is supposed to have a max of 1,000 mL. What he meant is propably your bladder is capable of carrying more than most can. I would not say it is common so maybe not normal but think its fine; propably better because your body can hold more urine.m:D

Maybe in elementary and middle schools you had really "strict to the point cruelty" teachers that would never let kids go to the bathroom?

I've always had a sore spot over that. A kid needs to pee (or poop!) and they won't let you! What if the teacher was treated like that?

Enlarged bladders and enlarged colons are the result if it's an on-going thing.
