As a medical professional, I can tell you that a bladder rupture is a serious medical emergency and is relatively rare. It typically occurs when there is a significant amount of pressure applied to the lower abdomen, such as in a car accident or a fall. Here are some signs and symptoms that might indicate a bladder has ruptured: 1. Severe pain in the lower abdomen and pelvic area. 2. Difficulty urinating or inability to urinate at all. 3. Swelling in the lower abdomen. 4. Blood in the urine (hematuria). 5. Abdominal distention or feeling of fullness. 6. Nausea and vomiting. 7. Unconsciousness or altered mental state in severe cases. If you suspect a bladder rupture, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention. A healthcare provider will perform a physical examination and may use imaging tests such as an ultrasound or CT scan to diagnose the condition. Treatment usually involves surgery to repair the bladder and may require the placement of a catheter to drain urine. read more >>

But usually there's little risk to holding one's urine; people will typically pee accidentally before a bladder bursts.read more >>
