We've all been there. A long road trip or standing in line at the grocery store and it happens, you really have to pee. But what happens if you hold it in for those extra miles until you get home?

It turns out that holding it in for a long time isn't as bad as we thought. It definitely isn't a good thing, as it can cause infection and other problems, but the chances of your bladder actually bursting are extremely rare.

In fact, in most cases your body will stop you from holding in your pee before your bladder reaches critical mass, and you will simply wet yourself.

The video below explains everything you need to know about your bladder and holding 'it' in.

So next time you're on that long road trip and you can't find a restroom right away, don't worry too much, but do stop and find a place to relieve yourself as soon as you can.
