In my experience (and considering my profession, I have a lot of pee of
different people types experience), adolescent males...mid to late
teens...have the greatest bladder capacity (not exactly an accurate
term), with voids in the 800-900 cc range, a few times a day.
Bladder capacity is a misnomer. What affects void volumes has more to
do with ability to hold it, with us old farts with increasing prostate
size having less abilty to hold it. The bladder has an amazing ability
to stretch if done so over time. For example, I had a patient as a
paramedic...old guy whose belly looked like he was pregnant...had been
peeing a little less, a little less often, for months...drained 3
liters of unine from his bladder.
So, take 800-900 cc per void, 2-3 times a day, as normal maximum, and
decrease the amount and increase the frequency, with age.
