The incident came to light after the man sought medical attention at the Zhuji People's Hospital in Shaoxing of eastern Chinese province Zhejiang after suffering severe abdominal pain.
Mr Hu had gone out and downed more than ten bottles of beer the night before. He then fell asleep and had not used the toilet once since he started drinking, according to Zhuji Daily.
The hungover man was rushed to a local hospital after he woke up with severe abdominal pain next evening.
The doctors found that the patient was unable to lay flat due to the extreme pain and tensed abdominal muscles. Mr Hu also tried to release the urine but failed after multiple attempts.
After conducting a CT scan on Mr Hu, the medics discovered that the man's bladder had been torn apart with three holes.
One of the tears had even opened up towards his abdominal cavity and caused part of his intestines to enter the bladder.
Mr Hu was immediately scheduled to undergo an operation to fix his bladder following the doctors’ shocking discovery. The picture released by Zhuji Daily shows Mr Hu's CT scan

Mr Hu was immediately scheduled to undergo an operation to fix his bladder following the doctors' shocking discovery.
The surgeons said that the man could be in a life-threatening condition if his bladder tears were not repaired in time.
Mr Hu is said to have been discharged from the Zhuji hospital following a full recovery.
Despite the rarity of such cases, the local hospital said that every year they received at least one patient like Mr Hu who suffered a ruptured bladder from holding the urine after drinking.
One's bladder is flexible and can increase in size as fluids are consumed but have a limited capacity of around 350 to 500 millilitres, according to the medics.
However, an intoxicated person might not feel the need of urinating after one's nerve system is suppressed by the alcohol. 
The bladder could then burst from being excessively stretched by the stored urine.
The doctors warned that people should avoid holding urine for extended periods of time and resisting the urge to pee, especially after drinking.
