Think your bladder's fine?

|October 08, 2025
These habits say otherwise
-
The bladder is easy to overlook - until it starts causing trouble.
This small, balloon-like organ in the lower urinary tract quietly stores and releases urine, helping the body eliminate waste and maintain fluid balance.
But just like your heart or lungs, your bladder needs care. Neglect it and you risk discomfort, urinary tract infections and, in some cases, serious conditions such as incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine) or even cancer.
The good news: many bladder problems are preventable and linked to everyday habits. Here are six common habits that can sabotage bladder health.
1. HOLDING IN URINE TOO LONG
