    I have a friend in urology, who will occasionally talk about clogged… systems, and how much urine a person can hold. It’s a surprisingly large amount, to the degree where they can’t remove it all in one go because the drop of internal pressure will lead to a drop in bloodpressure.

    So yes, you CAN pee yourself to death.

      They once drained nearly almost 2 liters out of me. The urologist was amazed that I didn’t die. I’ve had two more laser procedures over the years and another one is scheduled next week. Self cathing multiple times a day for years sucks. But it is better than dialysis or dying.

      Everyone loves them titties enough to have a whole month of awareness, but not many care about prostrate health. Get it checked regularly fellas! And pay attention to how you pee and how often. It can get bad enough that not even a little blue pill can save your love life.
