bladder compliance

Bladder compliance refers to the ease with which the bladder can stretch and accommodate urine without a significant increase in pressure. A compliant bladder can hold increasing amounts of urine smoothly, maintaining low pressure to protect the kidneys and urinary tract. If the bladder is less compliant, it becomes stiff and doesn't stretch well, which can cause high pressure inside and potentially lead to damage or discomfort. Proper compliance ensures the bladder functions effectively, allowing storage and emptying of urine comfortably and safely.
