Editing Urination (section)

====Experience of urination====
The need to urinate is experienced as an uncomfortable, full feeling. It is highly correlated with the fullness of the bladder.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Oliver S, Fowler C, Mundy A, Craggs M | title = Measuring the sensations of urge and bladder filling during cystometry in urge incontinence and the effects of neuromodulation | journal = Neurourol.

In females the need to urinate is felt in the lower abdomen region when the bladder is full. When the bladder becomes too full, the sphincter muscles will involuntarily relax, allowing urine to pass from the bladder. Release of urine is experienced as a lessening of the discomfort.
