I'm a guy in my late 20s, in excellent health, but have always had a small bladder. I have to urinate a LOT -- often like once an hour during the day or even more, depending on how much i have to drink. I don't have any problems urinating or even any real sudden urgency to urinate -- i just can't hold much, and it's annoying how often i have to go, especially at night. When i was a kid i used to wet my bed every night because of this; now i *usually* can get up in the middle of the night to pee, which is better but still annoying, especially when it's freezing cold out!
Is it possible by forcing myself to hold it in for a long time to stretch out my bladder so that it can hold more? Or will trying to stretch it out like that just cause more problems for my bladder in the long term? If holding it doesn't work, is there a surgery or some other treatment that could enable my bladder to hold more?
Anyone else had any experience with this? Any input would be much appreciated!

No I'm afraid there is nothing U can do. I also know from experience that over extending Ur self is not good 4 U at all, it can do a great deal of damage. Sorry but the truth is not as we want it always.
