Comment on Why do so many people believe that Tycho Brahe died from a burst bladder, when it's impossible to voluntarily hold it in until your bladder ruptures?

The first thing that comes to mind here are prostata problems or kidney stones. While the ring muscles can’t counter the pressure from a full bladder, the other two can seriously obstruct the urinary tract. In case of a kidney stone, it could even be that sharp crystals support or cause a rupture.
