18 hours without peeing<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Chinese man\u2019s bladder burst when he unknowingly held his pee in for 18 hours after a binge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 40-year-old man, identified only as Mr. Hu, reportedly passed out after downing 10 bottles of beer during a heavy drinking session the night prior without peeing once, reports Zhuji Daily.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After experiencing searing abdominal pains, a CT scan revealed that his bladder was torn in three places. The pee-induced pain was so intense that Hu was unable to lie flat, and he failed to relieve himself of his massive urine reservoir despite several attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even worse, one of the holes had ruptured toward the patient\u2019s abdominal cavity and forced part of his intestines to spill into the bladder, a potentially fatal complication if not fixed immediately, doctors deemed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, they were able to save Hu\u2019s life via emergency surgery, and he has since been released from the hospital after making a complete recovery, according to local media outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While such bladder explosions are rare, the local hospital claims that every year, they admit at least one such patient. And bingeing on beer is apparently the perfect recipe for a perforated pee pouch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When you drink alcohol, it causes the body to produce more urine than usual, so that can potentially contribute to the bladder being full,” Dr. Bradley Gill, a board-certified urologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio,\u00a0tells Live Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gill adds that when “accompanied by an inebriated individual being less aware of this fullness”, this can result in “traumatic bladder rupture.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
