Detailed explanation-1: -The bladder expands when it fills up, like a balloon. Nerves in the bladder wall detect the expansion and send a signal to the brain, letting it know that the bladder is full. The urinary bladder can store up to 500 ml of urine in women and 700 ml in men.
Detailed explanation-2: -A condition called emphysematous cystitis can cause gas in the urine. If you have this, your bladder is inflamed, and there are gas bubbles in or on the bladder wall. This condition is most common in people with diabetes, especially older women. Excess glucose in the body can feed the bacteria that create the gas.
Detailed explanation-3: -Usually the bladder walls become thicker and then grow because they are overstretched. The condition is sometimes referred to by medical professionals as bladder hypertrophy. An enlarged bladder can be present from birth or it can occur due to an obstruction in the bladder, the kidneys, or the connecting ureters.
