When you feel like you have to pee and only have a little pee come out it means you either have a bladder infection, Urinary Tract Infection, or even an enlarged prostate.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a “gotta go now” feeling.
You have the urge to pee even though your bladder isn't full.
OAB can lead to a condition called urinary incontinence where you leak urine.
The longest someone has gone without peeing is 26 hours.
After that time the person would release the urine even when they tried to hold back.
