When signaled, the bladder releases urine through the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. In women, this tube ends between the clitoris and the vagina. Healthy bladders hold urine until people have time to relieve themselves, but problems can arise for varying reasons.

Rare birth: Baby born completely encased in amniotic sac What is 'en caul'. The amniotic sac is an opaque bubble that covers all babies in the womb from right after conception. As the baby grows, it fills with fluid, including the baby's urine. The sac cushions the baby from bumps and jostles during mom's daily ups and downs. Normally, during a birth, it breaks, and the fluid rushes out, which is where the term 'breaking water' comes from. But sometimes, the sac can get stuck around part of the baby, according to Dr. Amos Grunebaum, an obstetrician and gynecologist, who publishes a website on birth and baby care.
