PATHOLOGY

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: -The causes of urinary retention are related to either a blockage that partially or fully prevents urine from leaving your bladder or urethra, or your bladder not being able to maintain a strong enough force to expel all the urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
