Do Small Made People Have Smaller Bladder?
Do smaller people have smaller bladders? So yesterday someone told me that girls have smaller bladders than men and smaller people have smaller bladder capacity. Is this true? Example like lets say a girl is skinny and 5 2 and one girl is 6 2 would the girl is 5 2 have a smaller bladder?? Ik this is a dumb question but the person got me curious.

Hello,
The urinary bladder is a muscular sac in the pelvis, just above and behind the pubic bone. When empty, the bladder is about the size and shape of a pear. The normal capacity of the bladder is 400-600 mL.
There is probably no inherent difference between male and female. The habit of urination has a direct bearing on the size of the bladder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
