Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The urge to void is typically felt when the bladder is holding approximately ____ mL of fluid.
A
50 mL
B
500 mL
C
250 mL
D
25 mL
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -You should feel the first urge to urinate when there is a bit less than 1 cup (240 milliliters) of urine in your bladder. Most people can hold more than 2 cups (480 milliliters) of urine in the bladder. Two muscles help prevent the flow of urine: The sphincter is a muscle around the opening of the bladder.

Detailed explanation-2: -Urgency: This is the main symptom of OAB. It is a strong (urgent) need to urinate that can’t be ignored. This “gotta go” feeling makes people afraid that they’ll leak urine if they don’t find a bathroom right away.

Detailed explanation-3: -The bladder expands as urine flows in from the ureters, but there is a limit to the volume it can contain. At about 200 ml of urine, the detrusor muscle begins to contract and the internal urethral sphincter muscle begins to relax. This sends signals through the nervous system and creates the “urge” to urinate.
