If we sit long enough at the toilet, how is it possible that we are able to pee again the 2nd or 3rd time?

I’m a woman (so not sure if men experience this too) and sometimes I just pee the 1st time and sit there and browse on my phone. But then I am able to try again and have small bursts of pee the 2nd time. Sometimes if I wait a few minutes more, I can pee a bit the 3rd time! Once a nurse told me to empty my bladder for an ultrasound but specifically instructed me to wait a few mins to pee the 2nd time to make sure my bladder is for sure empty.

Why can’t our bladder empty out on the first try?

Some urine is being processed in the kidneys – that could drain down and put more urine in the bladder so you can pee.
