Detailed explanation-1: -Urinary retention is a condition in which you cannot empty all the urine from your bladder. Urinary retention can be acute-a sudden inability to urinate, or chronic-a gradual inability to completely empty the bladder of urine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Urinary retention is treatable, and there is no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed. A doctor can often diagnose the problem. However, in some cases, a person may need a referral to a urologist, proctologist, or pelvic floor specialist for further testing and treatment.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most common cause of urinary retention is benign prostatic hyperplasia. Other common causes include prostatitis, cystitis, urethritis, and vulvovaginitis; receiving medications in the anticholinergic and alpha-adrenergic agonist classes; and cortical, spinal, or peripheral nerve lesions.
