Hello, Deborah! How are you?
No, if you are going frequently, or regularly and drinking a normal amount of fluids, then you don't have to worry about it bursting, even if you don't go at every single urge.
The average person should drink about 2 liters of fluid a day, plus they take in some via their food and they usually go 5 to 6 times a day. If you go 7 or more, that's when it's considered that you have a frequency problem, unless it's an isolated incident, when you drank a lot more fluid than usual, so you had to go more often, but things return to normal another day.
Thus, if you go 5 or 6 times a day, all is well and your bladder shouldn't be strained, at all, unless you've gone crazy with your fluid intake.
It may vary slightly from person to person, your doctor may tell you a different number is safer for you, so please follow their advice.
Is there anything else I can help with?
